Martinique is an island located in the Caribbean Sea. The capital and largest city is Fort de France. While French is the official language, Creole is commonly spoken. Roman Catholicism is the predominant religion. Zouk dance, developed from music originating in Angola and Cape Verde, is the main dance style. In 1902, the eruption of Mont Pelée volcano killed over 30,000 people in Saint-Pierre, leaving only two survivors. Local cuisine blends French, African, and Indian influences using fresh seafood and produce. Rugby and soccer are the most popular sports.
