At the North of the island, Grand-Rivière is situated between the Mount
Pelée and the Dominica Channel. Offering the
shorter way between Martinique and the Dominica, Grand-Rivière
was initially inhabited by the Caribbean Indians then by the French
at the 17th century, at the first times of colonization.
The area of Grand-Rivière is very mountainous (Morne Balata,
Morne Tique, Morne Citron), the coast is made of caps (cap Saint Martin)
as well as beaches (Anse Dufour, Anse du Débarcadère,
Anse de la Bagasse).
In front of the town hall of Grand-Rivière starts the path
leading to Le Prêcheur. This 6 hours excursion passes by the
habitation Fond Moulin, crosses the river Trois-Bras (water point)
for then joining the littoral by the Cap St-Martin, the Anse des Galets,
Anse Couleuvre and Anse Céron.

The vegetation of the tropical forest around Grand-Rivière
is dense and luxuriant, mahogany, courbaril, bamboo, bois flambeau,
whitewood.
A the end of the road, the beach of Grand-Rivière is the starting
point of the fishermen towards the Dominica channel, a dangerous passage
whipped all the year by the winds of the Atlantic.
