Welcome everybody to French Saint Martin.

French Saint Martin is not only the culinary capital of the Caribbean, but it's also known for its laidback vibes, diverse culture, pristine beaches, and excellent wine.

We are going to show you why we chose and loved the French side of the island so much and will be coming back.

French Saint Martin differs heavily from Dutch Sint Maarten in its culture. Dutch Sint Maarten seems to focus heavily on the tourist and cruise portion of a person's vacation. Philipsburg is mostly storefronts, with more or less generic touristdriven food (not bad but not much authentic between very Americanized food). There are ATV rentals that will get you from point A b. Once you exit Philipsburg, and head more towards SXM, you, of course, have your Yacht Club (great food), a brewery, some cute restaurants, and a downtown def geared for tourists. Many tourists don't head far towards the Dutch/French border so we are not going to focus on those differences.

There is an immediate culture shift once you exit the Dutch side (Sint Maarten). The French side (Saint Martin) almost immediately feels more authentic. The atmosphere changes, the people change, the culture changes. On your way to Grand Case, Saint Martin you will notice a few changes, the scenery and the laidback vibe. You will also notice more local establishments meant for island people. There's a local nightlife culture that thrives in French Saint Martin.

French Saint Martin is known for their pristine beaches, which do not disappoint. And peppered amounts their pristine beaches, are local lulus for excellent local food as well plenty of delightful french cuisine as well.
