The image of the wooden dock located precisely in the axis of the Saint-Henri des Anses-d'Arlet church and advancing on the Caribbean Sea is frequently highlighted in promotional campaigns about Martinique. Around the church built in the 18th and 19th centuries and listed as a Historical Monument, colorful houses with Creole architecture typical of the West Indies as well as a white sand beach lined with coconut trees and a few carbets appear on a background of wooded mornes (volcanic hills). This photograph, seen in multiple tourist guides, blogs, and commercial sites distributed on the Internet, was published as a double-page in the special West Indies issue of the magazine Géo in 2009. It contributed to the creation of what the geographer Fabien Bourlon and the anthropologist Franck Michel call a tourist utopia, that is to say a place in which one puts oneself on leave from the world.
