Morne Césaire, Mountain summit in Martinique, France.
Rising through dense tropical vegetation, Morne Césaire features a steep trail leading to an observation point overlooking Fort-de-France and the Caribbean Sea.
The mountain received its name from the influential Martinican poet Aimé Césaire, who shaped Caribbean literature and served as mayor of Fort-de-France from 1945.
The mountain path intersects with local traditions as residents gather specific plants along the trail for traditional medicine and cooking preparations.
The 3.4-kilometer hiking trail starts near the Maison Forestière de la Donis, requiring approximately two hours to complete with an elevation gain of 252 meters.
The summit trail crosses through sections of mahogany plantations and wild hibiscus groves before reaching the mountain's dense rainforest environment.
