Château Dubuc, Colonial plantation ruins in La Trinité, France.
Description
Château Dubuc is a plantation ruin site on the Caravelle Peninsula overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The remains include stone foundations, walls, multiple storage buildings, and ancillary structures from the 18th century.

The plantation was established in 1721 and produced sugar, coffee, and cocoa for export to France. The estate became a major production center during the colonial period in Martinique.
Culture
The site bears the name of a French colonist, and its ruins reveal how plantations were organized during that era. Visitors can see the remains of storage facilities and work buildings that speak to daily production and trade.
