Habitation Anse Latouche
Habitation Anse Latouche, Colonial agricultural estate in Le Carbet, France.
The Habitation Anse Latouche extends across 300 hectares, featuring a two-story colonial house, sugar mill, distillery, and indigo processing facilities near Mount Pelée.
Founded in the 1640s, the plantation operated until 1902 when the Mount Pelée eruption caused extensive damage to the structures and agricultural operations.
The estate contains preserved ruins of worker housing, production facilities, and an ornamental pool from 1748 that demonstrate colonial plantation life in Martinique.
The site now functions as the Zoo de Martinique, allowing visitors to explore both historical structures and animal exhibits within the former plantation grounds.
A Vauban-style water reservoir from 1716 remains on the property, showcasing early eighteenth-century French military engineering techniques in colonial agricultural settings.
