Musée De La Banane — Attraction in La Trinité

Very nice museum. The visit starts in a nice building with all the informations about history of bananas, description of banana as a grass and why it is not a tree. After info about insects and history you will discover the nutritional information of banana and erotic context of banana. All the info-signs are in French and English.

It was just magical there! 👌 At the end of the walk is a well landscaped area with a gift shop, info movie house & the restaurant featuring meals with Bananas - of you're willing to pay a little more than...

Nice posters to learn about the history of the banana. But it is just an exhibition with signs to read and a walk among the banana trees. It’s nice to have the posters in French and English.

Maybe they run the processing plant when they harvest the bananas, it’s was running when we arrived the end of October.

The milkshake stand was closed when we arrived also, I would have tried that and we were not interested in the restaurant.

I did buy some bottles of banana liquor from the gift shop, the also sold banana/garlic sauce, wasn’t feeling that adventurous.

€8 per adult is a bit of a stretch for a...
