Martinique: où vivre quand on a son boulot à Plateau Roy Cluny ou ZAC de l'étang z'abricots?

Original post
Bonjour, j'ai une demande de mutation en Martinique en cours qui a de fortes chances d'aboutir pour le 1er sept 2011, mon travail se situera à l'une ou l'autre adresse mentionnée dans le titre. J'ai beaucoup lu sur la Martinique et je me demande quel est l'endroit stratégique ou il faut s'installer sachant que :
- ma femme me suit et ne travaillera probablement pas
- j'ai deux enfants (6 ans et 3 ans et demi)
- nous aimons plutôt la nature que la ville pour vivre
- ce que j'ai lu sur les embouteillages m'effraie un peu...
De toutes mes recherches, j'en ai conclu que j'avais 4 options possibles ou orienter mes recherches de logement :
- le bourg des Trois Ilets en faisant les trajets en navettes bateaux me paraît une des meilleurs options car bien que trés touristique, le village n'en reste pas moins agréable, avec toutes les commodités, (d'aprés ce que j'ai lu) et aller tous les jours bosser en bateau... c'est quand même plus sympa que dans les bouchons. Est-ce qu'il y a des gens qui font ça sur ce forum qui peuvent m'en parler ? Du débarcadère, combien de temps faut-il pour rejoindre à pied la ZAC ou Roy Cluny ? Y'a t'il des bus ?
- Scoelcher est apparemment la solution la plus rationnelle mais les loyers sont trés élevés (mon budget sera de 1200 - 1300 euros a peu prés mais on aurait aimé une maison)
- La Trinité, Le Robert ou Le François m'ont l'air fort sympathiques, authentiques et moins chers. Pb : il y pleut plus souvent et le temps de trajet rique d'être long.. combien de temps faut-il aux heures de pointe ?
- Enfin, il y a Le Carbet qui m'a l'air bien authentique mais qu'en est-il de la durée du trajet ? y'a t'il tout ce qu'il faut dans ce bourg ? Y'a t'il une offre de locations en maisons ?
Bref, si vous avez des infos sur ces endroits, de meilleures pistes de recherches, je suis preneur de toute info. Merci d'avance à tous les Martiniquais (et aux autres...) qui auront la gentillesse de me répondre. Pascal.

Est-ce qu'il y a des gens qui font ça sur ce forum qui peuvent m'en parler ? Du débarcadère, combien de temps faut-il pour rejoindre à pied la ZAC ou Roy Cluny ? Y'a t'il des bus ? Le bourg est très très petit et pAs très commercial, éventuellement à la pointe du Bout. Tu risques d'avoir à aller en voiture au ponton... A pieds, il faut compter dans la bonne voire très bonne demie-heure pour chacun des deux lieux. Donc il faudra prendre le bus. Pour l'Etang z'Abricot, il y a une navette spéciale. Voir les bus Mozaïk. Il y a aussi le reste du Sud...
Scoelcher est apparemment la solution la plus rationnelle mais les loyers sont trés élevés (mon budget sera de 1200 - 1300 euros a peu prés mais on aurait aimé une maison) C'est une des possibilités les plus proches (surtout de Plateau Roy). Après tout dépend ce que vous voulez comme maison...
La Trinité, Le Robert ou Le François m'ont l'air fort sympathiques, authentiques et moins chers. Pb : il y pleut plus souvent et le temps de trajet rique d'être long.. combien de temps faut-il aux heures de pointe ? Du Robert, disons une base de 45 minutes à 1 heures pour l'Ez'A (le plus proche). Des autres communes, il faut rajouter...
Enfin, il y a Le Carbet qui m'a l'air bien authentique mais qu'en est-il de la durée du trajet ? y'a t'il tout ce qu'il faut dans ce bourg ? Y'a t'il une offre de locations en maisons ? Il faut envisager une base de 45/60 minutes. c'est un petit village...
Mon conseil de base: venir voir ou attendre d'être sur place pour vous décider... et vous faire à l'idée que sauf à habiter en toute proximité, vous aurez du temps à passer dans la voiture...

Bonjour,
Merci pour le commentaire sur mon site.
A mes réponses précédentes, j'ajouterai que la plupart des gens utilisant la navette bateau pour aller de Trois-Ilets à FdF travaillent dans le coeur de FdF. Pour les autres, le temps d'attente des bus et le re-trajet en bus peut rendrent ce moyen de transport peu intéressant. D'autant plus qu'il est limité dans le temps (soir).

Bonjour Madikera,
Pourriez-vous m'indiquer (a peu prés bien sûr ) les temps de trajets aux heures de pointe entre les villes suivantes et Fort de France (dans le sens ville-FdF le matin et FdF-ville le soir) : Schoelcher, St Joseph, Gros Morne, le Lamentin, Ducos, Saint Esprit, Rivière Salée, Ste Luce, Le Diamant, Trinité, Le Robert, Le François. J'ai l'impression que le choix de communes pour être raisonnable en terme de durée de transport s'arrête là. La N4 est-elle aussi bouchée que la route du sud ? Est-ce un bon plan de passer par là quand on est à Trinité, Robert ou Gros Morne ? A votre avis, pour des métros fraichement implantés, vaut-il mieux être en ville ou à la campagne (notamment pour la bonne adaptation des enfants), sachant que nous souhaitons privilégier la qualité de vie mais qu'il faut un minimum de commodités en terme de commerces, écoles, médecins etc... et que le temps de trajet ne dois pas excéder 1 heure ? Merci beaucoup d'éclairer ma lanterne...😏 Il est clair que de toute façon, il vaut mieux choisir son logement une fois surplace, le seul pb, c'est qu'il faut quand même savoir quoi déménager (pour la caisse maritime) sans connaître le type de logement qu'on va trouver, meublé, non meublé ? maison, appart ?
Merci d'avance de votre réponse et bonne journée.

Bonjour,
Il m'est très difficile de te répondr eà ta question pur les durées. Parfois, dans un même quartier le temps peut être du simple au doble car tu as un stop au bout de tarue déversant sur une voie très apssante et l'autre pas !!!
QQs réponses toutefois, données sur des temsp moyens hors travaux ou accidents: Schoelcher: tout dépend d'où tu pars... et où tu vas... car tu peux habiter en toute proximité de Plateau Roy. Il faut compter une bonne demie-heure pour descendre la Rocade de Schoelcher vers L'EzA.
Le Lamentin, tout dépend d'où tu pars...
Rivière Salée vers L'EzA, je mets en moyenne 35 à 45 minutes le matin (en partant vers 6h15) Pour les autres communes du Sud , tu rajoutes le temps d'arriver à RivSal. La route du Robert est maintenant plus bouchée que celle du Sud... Idem pour celle venant du François.
Je dirai que si tu veux réduire tes temps de tajets au minimum, si tu travailels à Plateau Roy je te conseille d'habiter à Schoelcher ou dans le secteur. Si tu travailles à L'EzA je te conseille d'envisager Le Lamentin ou le secteur mais en choississant bien ta rue...
Les commodités de vie il y en a partout... Après ce sont des choix personnels. Certains préfèrent habiter en zone centre pour être en ville et d'autres en petites communes. La majorité des métros ayant le choix (certains fonctionnaires ne l'ont pas toujours) optent pour les petites communes: mer, plages, activités... Donc, sur les - de 10 000 résidents en Martinique, il y en a qqs centaines dans les communes de Sainte-Luce, Diamant, Trois-Ilets, Robert, Trinité...
Bonne suite de réflexion...

Bonjour Pascal,
moi aussi j'ai fait une demande et elle est acceptée. Comme vous j'ai plein de questions. Je ne sais pas encore ou je travaillerai mais j'ai quelques préférences de villes, proches des vôtres. Je trouvais les 3 Ilets trop touristiques à mon gout mais il faut avouer que l'endroit est bien pratique et la position assez centrale. Je pense que j'y habiterai dans un 1er temps.
On pourrait monter un groupe des arrivants de sept 2011 et partager les infos concernant le déménagement, la voiture, les recherches de logements, les transports sur place...
Je suivrai les échanges
Cordialement
Dominique

Hi everyone,
I’ve got a job offer in Cebu and I’m currently negotiating the financial terms...
For those of you who are experienced or expats there, could someone help me evaluate the cost of living so I can get an idea of my monthly budget?
- Rent for an apartment or small house (2 people) - Miscellaneous expenses: utilities, electricity, phone, internet, insurance - Local taxes or fees?
Thanks for your help, tips, and experiences!

Hi,
I’m looking for real first-hand experiences from adults who’ve done a language stay in Canada, specifically in Vancouver or Toronto.
There are so many different schools and reviews that are both negative and positive (how can you tell if they’re genuine?!) that I’d rather hear from real people.
I’m looking for fun courses where you really make progress in speaking and comprehension. + Homestay accommodation: good or bad idea?
I’m 35—this would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me since I’ve dreamed about it since I was 17! I really don’t want to mess this up, especially given how much it costs!

Hi,
I’m leaving on September 4th for Vancouver as a tourist for 6 months.
My boyfriend works there, so I’m going to visit him. I’d like to take the opportunity to learn English at a school during October and November.
Could you recommend any schools—price, activities, location, reputation, etc.?
Also, any good health insurance suggestions?

Hi! I’m 76 and have traveled a lot in my life, and now I’m looking to settle in Réunion.
I’ve seen a retirement community in Saint-Pierre (Ravine des Cabris) and a residence called Village d’Or in Sainte-Clotilde. I have a feeling that living in Saint-Joseph might be better. I’ve submitted both applications and would love your thoughts—also if you know of any friendly small residences for rent, or if you have experience living there.
My pension is 1,460 €.
Thanks so much for your help! Looking forward to hearing from you—warm regards to everyone

After living for many years in the West (Belgium, Italy, Switzerland),
I’ve decided to return and settle in Cameroon, my home country.
Currently an entrepreneur in real estate and transport, I’m looking for a partner / partners / foundation to collaborate on an agriculture project, as I own 10 hectares of land.
The hectares have remained unused for years due to a lack of financial means, since the project requires what I’d call a considerable investment. As the main stakeholder, I have a minimal contribution to offer.
I believe it’s time to bring this space to life to meet pressing needs and serve the common good of society.
The project is simple:
1) Grow maize + build a processing plant to produce flour
2) Open a mini supermarket + a modern bakery using the flour for pastries, etc.
3) Build a healthcare service
4) Build a nursery and primary school
5) Construct free housing for retired expatriates in exchange for their voluntary contributions in their respective fields.
This is a project I truly believe in, and I invite anyone interested to add their personal touch—whether through advice, guidance, or involvement.
Note: This project has national and international potential in terms of employment.
My slogan: To be visibly useful to society
You’ve got to dare, even if it makes you tremble.

Hi everyone, my son’s school is offering him a one-month Erasmus trip to Ireland, but he has to find a junior cycle school that will accept him and a host family on his own. Honestly, we’re struggling—we’ve contacted two schools and haven’t heard back! If you have any leads...

Hi there,
I’m considering moving to Miami to live and work for a few years.
If anyone knows what the administrative formalities are—both for getting a work permit and for the steps and reputable organizations to contact (since I imagine there are scammers in this space) when buying a studio in Miami or Miami Beach—I’d love any info you can share!
Have a great day

Hi everyone,
I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences about marrying a Cuban and moving to Cuba (not the other way around!). Yes, some of us actually *want* to stay on the island! Is it possible to work there without too much hassle, or is it really complicated?

Hi everyone,
I’m heading to Bangkok for a 5-month internship, and I’m wondering about the budget because I’ve read all sorts of things—so I decided to post here to get answers tailored to my situation! :D I found housing that costs me 7,000 baht (I know it’s a bit pricey, but it’s super convenient...), which works out to about 160 € all-inclusive. So, I was wondering if it’s realistic to live on 500 or 600 € per month, and if so, under what conditions? Is that enough, considering I’ll be working 40 hours a week?
Thanks in advance for your replies—I hope they’ll reassure me!

Hi everyone,
WEP offers loads of different projects, including one I really like: helping and volunteering on a farm, particularly in South America (Peru or Argentina).
I’d love to know if anyone has tried this project or knows someone who has... or has done something similar? I’d like to get some feedback before diving into the adventure.
If so, could you share your thoughts on the project, any tips, etc.?
Thanks to anyone who replies!
Cheers,

Hi there,
Our departure time is getting closer (we have less than 2 years left—it’s both a long time and so short!). To start preparing seriously, we’ll need quite a bit of info. If anyone knows the rates charged by movers for a crate to French Polynesia, or what pitfalls to avoid (I know you can get quotes directly from movers, but I’d love insights from actual customers😉).
Are there any special requirements before leaving France (aside from taxes...)?
Thanks to everyone for your help—every bit of info is useful. We’re aiming for a departure around 06/2010 (just need to save up a little more...). Thanks again!

Hi, I’m a self-employed physiotherapist in France, and as my wife (a nurse) and I look into working abroad in about two years, I’ve been offered an equivalence to become a respiratory physiotherapist in Switzerland. Actually, I’m currently doing a postgraduate diploma in pediatric respiratory physiotherapy and want to specialize in that area. Anyway, that’s not the main point—could anyone explain the pros and cons of doing this job in Switzerland? Based on the paperwork I’ve received, the equivalence seems purely administrative or almost... What about working conditions, quality of life, salaries, etc.?
Thanks for your replies. PS: Same question for my wife, a nurse, regarding her integration.
Thanks, Nicolas and Bérengère

Hi everyone!
I’m looking for information about jobs in early childhood in New Caledonia. I’m currently a childminder in a MAM (multi-accueil) and I’ve also worked for about 6 years in several daycare centers as a childcare assistant. In the summer of 2026, my husband is being transferred to New Caledonia. We’ll be living near Nouméa. Do you know if the early childhood sector is a good field for jobs there? Can’t wait to discover this island! Right now, we’re in the middle of all the administrative paperwork for our 3 kids, finding housing, bringing our cat to the territory, and so on! Thanks for your feedback!!

Hi there,
I’d love to go to Japan to travel, and if things go well, work there too. Has anyone tried finding a job there? Is it even possible without speaking Japanese? I’m thinking of starting out in restaurants (dishwashing or serving) and then moving into my field, IT.

Hi everyone!
I’d like to move to Spain, specifically to Málaga. To do that, I’d like to know if I’ll need any official documents from France to work there, or anything like that... I’d also love to hear from people who’ve moved to Spain for work—do Spaniards like the French? Is it hard to fit in? What are the salary ranges for a ready-to-wear salesperson? And is it easy to find housing?
Thanks! 🙂

Hi everyone! 👨🏾🤝👨🏻
My partner and I currently live in Antibes—we’re both freelancers working remotely. We’re thinking about potentially moving to Italy.
We’d like to settle near the French border, between Ventimiglia and San Remo (this is important because we need access to Nice Airport twice a month). ✈️
I’d love to hear about life in this region! We’re looking for a quiet spot close to the sea. Any recommendations? As for the paperwork, is it difficult to get everything official? Is finding housing tough in this area? What kind of guarantees are usually required? If any kind soul could shed some light on this, we’d really appreciate it! 🥺🏻
Thanks so much for your help and advice! ☺️

I'm looking for an au pair who'd like to come to Bournemouth in the south of England, and I'd love to know what the best websites are to find one, please.
Hi everyone,
I’d like to get some information about my eligibility for the DV Lottery.
About my background: • I earned a *Bac Pro* through VAE (*Validation des Acquis de l’Expérience*), issued by the *Éducation nationale*. • I also have a professional certification as a *Conseiller en Insertion* (Employment Counselor), issued by the Ministry of Labor. • Altogether, this adds up to a *Bac+2* level.
I’d like to know if this level qualifies me to apply for the DV Lottery.
Regarding my work experience: • I work as an *Employment Counselor*. • I checked on O*Net Online for the classification: Job Zone 4, SVP Range: 7.0 – <8.0. • I only have one year of experience, but I handle similar tasks in business creation.
So my question is: can I apply for the DV Lottery despite my relatively short experience, given that my job falls under Job Zone 4?
Thanks in advance for your answers and advice! !

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for info on villages around Aix, like Fuveau, Bouc-Bel-Air, or even Éguilles and Venelles? We’re a couple with a child living in the Paris region, and I’ll be relocating to Aix-en-Provence in spring 2026. We’d love to swap our apartment for a house with a pool within 20-30 minutes max of central Aix, with a budget of around 650k €.
In terms of climate and geography, I’ve read that Aix is in a basin where it can get really hot. What about the surrounding villages that are a bit more elevated, like Venelles? Is it just as stifling?
For a family, which area would you recommend?

Starting this spring, we want to settle near Aix-en-Provence. We're tired of living in the mountains with all the snow—we really need some sunshine and a fresh start. Is it hard to find a house to rent there? What about prices? If you have any great tips or useful info about the area, we’d love to hear it. I work in education and want to do prevention work in Marseille or Aix—are there jobs in the social sector?
Anyway, we need tons of info, but we’re sure we’re going to take the leap—no hesitation, adventure is adventure!!! Thanks for your help and any experiences you can share.

Hi,
I’m an osteopath and I’d like to set up and open an osteopathy practice in Thailand. I don’t have a precise location in mind yet, but I’m thinking maybe Hua Hin. I saw there’s an osteopath based in Phuket, so I wrote to him for some info, but he still hasn’t replied🤪!
So I’m reaching out to people who live there or know the country well: I’d like to know what the best ways are to advertise and get known in Thailand. Are there any local classifieds newspapers? First, I’d like to practice from my apartment. Is that allowed in Thailand? Ideally, I’d like to work part-time in a private hospital as an osteopath. I’m thinking that in Thailand, the medical field is much more open than in Europe!!! Has anyone seen an osteopath or chiropractor working in a Thai hospital? Do you know the price of a consultation?
Any info you can share will be super helpful! Thanks in advance[;)!!!]

Hello everyone,
We’re a small family from the south of France, with a 2-year-old little boy, and we’re dreaming of starting a new adventure abroad by opening our own business. For now, we haven’t chosen a specific destination yet.
We mainly speak French, with a basic level of Spanish and English, and we’re ready to improve these two languages if needed. We’re looking for a multicultural, safe country with quality healthcare and good schools accessible for our son. We’d also love a pleasant place with a mild climate where life is good.
Our idea is to travel to different countries to explore, compare, and refine our project. We’d be really happy to read your tips, experiences, or anecdotes if you’ve already undertaken a similar project or if you know key points to anticipate.
Thanks in advance for your shares and help—it would really help us move forward with our project! 😄
