Visit the garden of the Musée de la Banane in Sainte-Marie

Located in Sainte-Marie, within the Habitation Limbé, a former 18ᵉ century sugar mill, the Musée de la Banane invites you to immerse yourself in tropical nature and historical heritage.

A 2-hectare banana plantation and tropical garden to explore
A walk through the garden at the Musée de la Banane is an experience in itself. You'll discover more than 64 varieties of banana trees with surprising names: Kankanbou, Makandja, Gross Famm, Figue Rose, Benedetta, Pisang Lilin... as well as many tropical species: coffee trees, cocoa trees, breadfruit trees, alpinias, porcelain roses, heliconias pendula and pineapples.
The museum unveils the fascinating history of the banana, from its arrival in Martinique in 1516 to its global economic significance. Learn about its uses, cultivation methods, and cap it off with a tasting session!

Before leaving, explore the museum’s small artisan village, where a shop offers banana-derived delights: liqueurs, punches, jams, flour, dried bananas, and more. For a tasty break, the restaurant La Bananeraie reimagines bananas in delicious Creole cuisine, from starters to desserts – a treat not to miss.
