Allure Day 5 - Marigot - a little French town


It was 12:30 when we arrived in Marigot, the Capital of the French side of St. Martin.  We stopped for about 30 minutes here.

First, we headed to “the yellow building” that housed Serafina’s.

Serafina’s is a famous pastry and sandwich shop.  We walked through and took a look.  I wish I had saved room at lunch for dessert, but my tummy wouldn’t hold anymore.  So we saved a couple of dollars/Euro by not buying any of these yummy goodies.


Around Marigot

A castle on the hill

I am not sure if this is the same castle we had seen on our way to Marigot or not.  We had seen a castle on a hill and someone asked Sexy what it was.  He told us it is actually a house built by an individual about 10 years ago as a private residence.  He said it takes a very long time to build homes in St. Martin, due to getting supplies.

Chris, somewhere in Marigot (not a bad place to be lost)

Speaking of lost, just in case, here’s a globe.

I thought the colors in the market were beautiful.


Boats in the harbor

Chris and I finished looking around before time was up, so we just kept wandering, enjoying our time, and the fact that we had nowhere in particular to be.

Next stop – Maho Beach!
