Air Canada is helping to connect the French Caribbean in a new way this winter, with a significant in expansion in flights to the island of Martinique. That includes a new route between Toronto and Fort-de-France set to launch on Dec. 16.

The latter is adding another two weekly flights, for a total of six flights between Montreal and Martinique each week. 

That will mean a total of seven weekly flights connecting Canada and the Caribbean capital of rum, an island that continues to be popular with travelers in search of high-level gastronomy, rich culture and a fascinating natural environment.
