Tour Lumina, Commercial building in Fort-de-France, Martinique.
Tour Simon stands 105.5 meters tall with twenty floors, making it the tallest building in Martinique and housing office spaces, a restaurant, and residential apartments within its modern structure.
Built between 2007 and 2010 on the historic Pointe Simon site where Martinique's first sugar factory was established in 1845, the tower represents the island's industrial evolution over centuries.
The complex symbolizes Fort-de-France's architectural modernization by combining commercial and residential functions, reflecting Martinique's adaptation to contemporary urban challenges while preserving its industrial heritage and colonial memory.
The tower remains accessible from various Fort-de-France neighborhoods through public transportation networks and offers diverse services including offices, restaurants, and shops all within the same convenient location.

Martinique features numerous dining establishments offering creole cuisine in various forms, from traditional recipes to gastronomic interpretations. This selection includes ten restaurants located in different communes of the island: the coastal towns of Sainte-Luce and Sainte-Anne facing the sea, the heights of Trois-Îlets overlooking the bay, the capital Fort-de-France, and the bays of Arlet and Marin. These venues serve local seafood such as spiny lobster, marlin, and prawns, prepared using creole methods or reinterpreted with influences from elsewhere. The restaurants in this collection offer a variety of menus: some focus on traditional Martinique dishes made with local produce, others develop more inventive cuisines combining local ingredients with international culinary techniques. Several establishments are situated by the sea or on elevated sites, providing views of the bays and the Atlantic Ocean. Dishes include agoulou, a typical dish made from offal, smoked marlin tartare, grilled spiny lobster, and various preparations of fish and shellfish from the Caribbean waters.
