St. Martin/St. Maarten
St. Martin/St. Maarten is the smallest island in the world ever
to have been partitioned between two different nations. St. Martin/St.
Maarten has been shared by the French and the Dutch in a spirit
of neighborly cooperation and mutual friendship for almost 350 years.
The border is almost imperceptible and people cross back and forth
without ever realizing they are entering a new country. The only
marker is a monument between Union Road and Bellevue, testifying
to centuries of peaceful cohabitation and the treaty that made the
arrangement possible.
All the same, each side has managed to retain much of the distinctiveness
of its own national culture. The French tend to emphasize comfort
and elegance. The beaches are secluded, the luxury resorts provide
lavish accommodations, and the restaurants offer some of the finest
dining experiences anywhere in the Caribbean. The latest French
fashions can be found in many of the shops, and the smell of fresh
croissants and pastries mixes everywhere with the spicy aromas of
West Indian cooking. Small caf?s and charming bistros add a decidedly
Gaelic and cosmopolitan flair to the place. On the whole the atmosphere
remains very relaxed.
