French Caribbean Luxury Holidays
The original inhabitants of St Barths in the French Caribbean came from Brittany, so it’s little
wonder that its intrinsic French influence gives the island the air of an exclusive Mediterranean
resort. The capital and pretty harbour town of Gustavia offers a selection of gourmet
restaurants, exclusive boutiques and pavement cafés, while the rest of the island is green and
hilly with long stretches of white sand beaches. The clear waters are excellent for watersports,
which are enhanced by the island’s Marine Reserve status.
