Martinique

When Martinique finds something that works, it embraces it. Perhaps that's why the St. Louis Cathedral in the capital of Fort-de-France was rebuilt to the same specifications six times on the same site. Or why the Schoelcher Library was taken apart following the Paris Exposition of 1889 and put back together piece by piece on-island. Or why reproductions of Gauguin's oils done here fill a namesake museum in Le Carbet.
