Why you should visit Saint Martin

Reasons to visit Saint Martin
- The foodSaint Martin is a French colony and is therefore dedicated to quality cuisine. This Caribbean Island offers laid-back Grand Case which is an upscale for French cuisine and can be found at L'Auberge Gourmande and the French-Caribbean fusion of Bistrot Caraïbes, while the larger Marigot is lined with restaurants along the waterfront that offer their own versions of a restaurant, bouillabaisse with fresh fish.
- The drinks
Have you ever heard of French wine? It is available in Saint Martin and carefully stored in underground cellars. You can also try Ti Punch which is known as a powerful cocktail that is made from rum, cane sugar and lime. For best results, listen to live reggae music at a full moon party and a bonfire in Kali's Beach Bar.
- Entertainment
While St. Martin has a slower life than the hectic Dutch on the other side of the border, there is a lot of fun to be had: in the adventure park of the Ziplining nature reserve through the trees Loterie Farm, boat trip to the islands of Pinel and Tintamarre for a day of snorkeling, Kitesurfing, kayaking and many other nautical activities.
- Shopping
Saint Martin has a good waterfront market, unique art galleries, quirky little shops and even a perfumery where you can mix your own scents.
