Lindsay and Karen were amazed at the beauty of the anchorage! And so were we…last year, we discovered Terre de Haut and it was our first French island…we were charmed! This year, I was not sure if we would have the same impression as we have seen so many islands in the mean time..but yes, Les Saintes remains a very special place, with its beautiful creeks, wild beaches (Grande Anse), its colourful “cases” and its “tourments d’amour” …exquisite pastries typical for the island. We visited Fort Napoleon and enjoyed the views, the cactus and succulent gardens and its expositions of the tales of battles between France and England.


C’est avec plaisir et encore un certain émerveillement que nous avons retrouvés Les Saintes…leurs paysages sauvages, leurs “cases” aux couleurs brillantes, leur atmosphère…on agrimpé jusuq’au Fort Napoléon d’où nous avons eu de merveilleuses vistas sur les baies environnantes. Les jardins du fort étaient intriguants, le fort impressionant et les expositions relatant la vie des saintois, leurs us et coutumes, ainsi que les batailles qui ont eu lieu dans ses eaux tres intéressantes.
