Grand'Rivière, Administrative commune in northern Martinique, France

Grand'Rivière extends along the northern coast of Martinique, encompassing 116.60 square kilometers with mountain slopes descending into the Caribbean Sea.

The settlement began in the late 17th century when Jesuits established a chapel, leading to its formal recognition as a separate commune in 1888.

The fishing port remains central to local life, with fishermen maintaining traditional practices and contributing to the maritime heritage of northern Martinique.

The commune connects to other areas through route N1 and operates three main public transportation lines under the Martinique Transport network.

A metal bridge spanning 67 meters crosses the Grande Rivière river, marking the eastern boundary of this northernmost Martinican settlement.
