Les Trois-Îlets (French pronunciation: [le tʁwɑz‿ilɛ], literally The Three Islets; Martinican Creole: Twazilé) is a town and commune in the French overseas department and region of Martinique.
It was the place of baptism and possibly the birthplace of Joséphine (1763–1814), who married Napoleon Bonaparte and became Empress of the French.
The town also features La Savane Des Esclaves (a living history museum/park that showcases 400 years of Martinique’s history).
