of Saint Barthélemy
confirms there are
absolutely no strikes or

fact, Saint Barthélemy
is not officially part of
the Department of

located over 125 miles

Really an unfortunate situation for St. Barths where everything is totally fine!
Certainly can understand why tourists might have concerns. The first thing that came to my mind and even asked on another thread here if St.Martin (French side) and/or St. Barths were also having problems ... since they are also a part of the French West Indies .
Hate what's going on in Guadeloupe and Martinique ... but very glad all is well in St. Martin and St.Barths ..... |
