Martinique town to stay

My girlfriend and I are going to be in Martinique for 6 days in December. I was hoping to get recommendations of a town that we should stay in. We plan on exploring the island, hiking, visiting the capital, and relaxing on the beaches during the days. But we would like to stay in a town that has a few things to do in the evening. We would have loved to stay in Fort de France, but the guidebooks all seem to say that it's not a great place to stay given the congestion, crime and noise. However, the guidebooks don't say much about any other towns on the island. Ste. Anne is one that is mentioned, but I worry about the nearby Club Med. We would ideally like to avoid the touristy areas and the crowds. We're just looking for a charming town with a handful of restaurants and bars where we can relax in the evenings. Any advice? Thoughts on Ste. Anne, Le Francois, Trinite, Le Marin, Ste. Marie, Ste. Luce, Le Diament, etc.? Thank you.

The Le Prêcheur is a beautiful and peaceful town in Martinique to have a stay and accommodation. It is surrounded by black sand beaches which include the Anse Céron, Anse Couleuvre, Anse Lévrier, Anse à voile, Anse la Celle, Anse des Galets. The town is so fascinating with dense nature and forests with lush green valleys and mountains. It is a place to discover and visit and the steep mountains are famous for hiking and trekking activities.
