Located at the top of a hill overlooking the Clément estate, the Habitation Clément mansion is partly hidden by vegetation. Restored and luxuriously furnished, this 'main house' or 'Grand'Case' is a fine example of 19th century Creole architecture. At the end of the 18th century, when the Habitation Acajou - which became Clément over its many changes of owners - was founded, the masters did not live on site and the 'manager' lived in a simple hut from where he controlled work in the sugar cane fields. The Habitation Clément took on its current appearance in the middle of the 19th century when Françoise Virginie de Franqueville bought the estate in 1844 and decided to reside there. The initial hut then served as the core of the contemporary building, which was surrounded by a gallery and extended by one floor to accommodate bedrooms and an office. Its embellishment continued at the beginning of the 20th century at the initiative of its new owner Homère Clément, one of the first black doctors in Martinique.
