Located on the northern half of the island, the French side of St. Martin is a tropical destination that offers a fascinating blend of French charm and Caribbean bliss.
Founded in the 18th century under King Louis XVI’s reign, the capital city of Marigot offers visitors a look into the past, while panoramic views can be found from Fort St. Louis, a fortress that was built in the late 1700s that offers memorable vistas overlooking Marigot Bay. Rue de la République, the city’s main street that’s lined with traditional architecture, is a must see.
Whether relaxing along the coastline or exploring lush landscapes, St. Martin is not without its natural beauty. The French side is home to pristine beaches like Red Bay Beach, Lover’s Beach and Long Beach, each offering the perfect conditions for water sports like kayaking, wakeboarding and snorkelling.
With a range of St. Martin resorts overlooking pristine sands or candlelit restaurants run by Paris-trained chefs, discover all it has to offer.
