Pétroglyphes de Montravail, Ancient petroglyph site in Sainte-Luce, France.

The Montravail petroglyphs consist of five andesite blocks spanning an area of 18 by 8 meters, displaying carved faces with stylized features.

The site was first documented in 1970 by Jean Crusol, who reported his findings to local archaeologist Mario Mattioni for initial scientific documentation.

These rock carvings represent one of three known Amerindian rock art sites on Martinique island, providing evidence of early Caribbean civilization.

The site requires regular maintenance due to biological growth, with steam cleaning techniques applied to preserve the visibility of the engravings.

The central block measures 1.64 meters high and 2.04 meters long, featuring 13 faces with a distinctive trident-mouth design at its center.
