The capital of French St. Martin (pop. 5,700, above and top) is a laid-back blend of French and Caribbean culture filled with French boutiques, bakeries, restaurants, and colorful street markets offering local crafts, fresh produce, and spices. The Marina Port La Royale also has boutiques, restaurants, and a lively atmosphere. On the history side, check out the Musée de Saint-Martin, which traces the island’s past back to the pre-Columbian Arawaks, and 234-year-old Fort Louis, up on a hill overlooking it all.
