St Barts
In March 2006 we went to the island of St Barts in the French West Indies. St Barts is owned by France, and actually regarded as being part of France. There were never any plantations on St Barts, so there were no slaves or black population. Everyone in St Barts is French, which they speak with an old fashioned Normandy accent. (Not that we could tell, of course).
St Barts is difficult to get to from California - you fly to New York, then the Dutch/French island of St Maarten, then a six-seater plane to St Barts, which lands almost on the beach. From the UK you would fly to Antigua, then St Maarten the next day, then the small plane to St Barts. For these reasons, most visitors to St Barts are from France and the eastern part of the United States. Many of the visitors we met go back every year.
There are many terrific hotels and restaurants in St Barts, and we visited several of them.
