The heart of French Saint Martin

A colourful stop between town life and the horizon.

Come to Marigot to wander through the market, choose fresh fruit, explore the small streets of the centre and pause at a terrace overlooking the bay.

The town unfolds naturally through the day: coffee in the morning, a waterfront walk, then the light settling over Fort Louis. From Terres Basses, it is also an easy change of pace between beach days.
