Saint-Martin / Sint-Maarten is a charming island, 97 km², located in the heart of the Caribbean. It’s shared in two parts :
Saint-Martin, of which Marigot is the charming “French way” maintown, with its traditional Caribbean houses, its marina, its fruit and spices market (each Wednesday and Saturday), its local ambiance and its luxury duty free shopping.
Sint-Maarten, dutch side of which the main town, Philipsburg, is known for its lots of duty free shopping, its colourful night events, its night clubs, casinos and its international airport.
French/English, Dollars/Euroes, French gastronomy/Dutch night life, are making of Saint-Martin/Sint-Maarten an intense destination and the hyphen between two civilizations.
The luxuriant island of Saba, the marvellous Saint-Barth’s, the magnificent beaches of Anguilla, are all dreamful tours around Saint-Martin. |
