I was lucky enough to have a honeymoon in september in
Martinique. We visited almost every city and village in the
island, and saw local flags only in Fort-de-France and
Saint-Pierre.

Logo from http://www.mairie-fort-de-france.fr
Fort-de-France, main city (more than 100.000 inh.) and
"chef-lieu" of Martinique uses a logo on white field.
It is flown near the biggest place of the city, the "place de
la Savane", along with many Caribbean flags (Haiti,
Dominican Republic, Cuba, Saint-Lucia, Dominica...), a French and
a european one, if I remember well, and a "Welcome
flag" which is white with the word "BIENVENUE" and
the border of which is made of Caribbean states flags. You can
see a part of it on the my photo,
behind the flag of Fort-de-France. The logo of Fort de France may
be found on its website http://www.mairie-fort-de-france.fr
(appears the same on the flag, except the "République
Française" on the top).

Coat of Arms from http://www.saint-pierre-2002.org
In Saint-Pierre (5,000 inh (30,000 before the eruption of the
Montagne Pelee in 1902) , there is a flag flown near the city
hall. It is obviously was white field with a blue coat of arms as
can be seen in my photo.
The coat of arms of Saint-Pierre is azure with golden caduceus
(?). You can find it at http://www.saint-pierre-2002.org.
