Before Your Flight from Bordeaux to Fort-de-France

When Should You Book a Flight from Bordeaux to Fort-de-France?

One essential factor to consider before booking your vacation is seasonality. To avoid any unpleasant surprises, take some time to research the best periods to explore the island of Martinique. Keep in mind that the seasons are reversed compared to mainland France.
Why not celebrate New Year’s Eve with your feet in the water? Beyond the unique experience it offers, you’ll have the chance to take part in the island’s festive events. For a culinary celebration, local restaurants go all out to craft unforgettable holiday menus. Looking for a night filled with music and dancing? Hop aboard a sailboat and cruise to the beats of top DJs who set the rhythm across the island.
Dreaming of the cozy comfort of a beachside hut in a postcard-perfect setting? Escape the March showers in mainland France and perfect your tan on Pointe Marin beach. Treat yourself to delicately sweet cocktails and the gentle sway of a hammock—a perfect invitation to nap as the waves softly lap at your feet…

What Are the Entry Requirements Before Your Flight from Bordeaux to Fort-de-France?

Since Martinique is a French island, there’s no need to worry about currency exchange. However, air travel regulations do require valid identification. Have you checked whether your passport or national ID card is still valid? If not, don’t worry—you can book an appointment online via the official French government website. Keep in mind that wait times may be longer during certain periods, so remember the golden rule: plan ahead!
Your bags are packed—but have you double-checked what’s inside? Essentials include a high-SPF sunscreen to ensure you can enjoy the sun safely for hours. And don’t forget: tropical island means tropical mosquitoes! They can be quite aggressive at dusk, so a good mosquito repellent will definitely come in handy.
