Thank you for your research, unfortunately as indicated in the
question and pursuant to the google critiera, in asking questions in
English, I must deny payment. May I add, again, that most
importantly, I would like to make use of the web to view properties in
Martinique on the web site meeting the 300,000 dollar price range and
the aforemention characteristics.
Hi again,
Different countries not only speak different languages, but they also
have different ways of doing things. While in the USA size of
apartments and number of bathrooms might be especially important, the
same might not apply for the folk of Martinique. Even for tourists the
level of amenities appear to be much lower:
%26quot;According to the locals, however, many Americans are disappointed
with the accommodations because they expect rooms to be similar to the
standards of a Hyatt or Marriott Hotel. Many hotels do not offer air
conditioning, but all are surrounded by gorgeous foliage and have a
distinct tropical ambiance. You may not find a TV, carpet, or the
usual conveniences expected at a hotel here in the States, but the
service is very good and your room is kept clean and is quite
comfortable. This is true of many Caribbean islands and we find this
to be part of their charm.%26quot;

%26quot;While Martinique is a busy island, it does not have high-rise hotel
strips. Instead, hotels are in keeping with the relaxed, low-key chic
that characterizes Martinique. There are tropical-style mid-range
beach-side hotels and remote auberges in the woods.%26quot;

Other cultures may even bathe differently:
%26quot;During my stint in Paris, I discovered that most French homes did not
have a bathroom. Instead, they used a contraption called a bidet on
which they sat astride as on a horse and turned on a tap which shot a
shower of warm water into their bottoms and genitals. This, repeated
after soaping their private parts, did quite a thorough job. The
French sponged their armpits and liberally sprinkled them with talcum
powder. A proper body wash was a weekend ritual performed in a public
bath. Most Saturdays, girls from the office where I worked spent an
hour or more in these public baths and were ready for a prolonged
weekend with their boyfriends. When I rented a house in a suburb of
Paris I had to have a bathroom installed.%26quot;

I have checked the listings at all the agency websites I found, and
have been unable to locate a single apartment with 1 bedroom and 2
baths. A few may exist, but it is apparent that they are not common.
Much larger apartments, with only one bath, can be found for less than
$300,000.
Very little English is spoken in Martinique - the main languages are
French, Creole and Patois. The majority of tourists are French, and
most of their trade is with France. If you intended to live there, or
even just investigate the possibility, knowing some French would be a
major advantage.
%26quot;It will make it MUCH easier if you know French when you go to
Martinique%26quot;

I have found a list of email addresses for real estate agencies in
Martinique, and have emailed them to ask if they understand English
well enough to be of assistance to you - I will let you know of their
responses.
