The finest food and wine in the little village of Grand Case. The world's most beautiful women strolling down the sand.

Add to that the bluest skies and crystal waters, the funkiest bars and eye-opening beaches, and you'll find yourself somewhere on St. Martin.

Perhaps it's parasailing off Orient Beach...or on the beach itself where tops are always optional (sometimes more!) How very French.

Stay at five star hotels where they fly food in everyday from Paris, or rent a villa with a very private pool. For a Dutch treat, drive across the island to the St. Maarten side, where cruise ships and casinos make it seem as if you're in another country altogether.

Vive la difference!
