It is said that the British dropped sailors on the island of Martinique and registered the rock as a ship, the HMS Diamond Rock. The French, after 17 months of unsuccessful attacks on the rock, apparently set adrift a load of rum near the island. A short time later the French attacked the island of drunken sailors and retook the rock.

• Piton Crève-Coeur: Located between Le Marin and Sainte-Anne, Piton Crève-Coeur, is an old extinct volcano whose ascension offers exceptional points view on the island of Sainte-Anne. You can see the salt marshes, the savanna of petrifactions, and some far away islets.
