This fascinating city is full of treasures from the past. It's amazing to see what survived the devasting eruption of 1902. The residents are confident Mt. Pelee is sleeping and there is no risk of Mt. Pelee erupting anytime soon. It is closely monitored by a volcano observatory so there would time for the residents to make haste away and get out of harms way.

We found St. Pierre to be a lovely, quiet, picturesque city with warm, friendly people. Even though we do not speak French there were enough people with just a little English that we were able to communicate. It's often the communities outside the capitals and major centers that are most inviting.
