Saint Martin

Grand Case

60

Bien protégée, sauf des rares coups de houle

du nord, la baie de Grand-Case reste le mouillage

le plus pittoresque de Saint-Martin. C’est

l’escale idéale pour le premier ou le dernier

jour d’une croisière entre Saint-Martin, Anguilla

et Saint-Barth. Les plaisanciers amarrent leur

canot sur le plus petit ponton et accèdent au

cœur du village. La vie a repris son cours à

Grand-Case depuis le passage d’irma et l’on

y trouve de très bons restaurants, plusieurs

épiceries et de jolies boutiques de mode

qui bordent la plage et le boulevard. Au crépuscule,

on touche du doigt la magie des

tropiques à Grand-Case, avec des couchers

de soleil souvent spectaculaires. En pleine

saison, le mardi soir, le boulevard qui longe la

mer est interdit à la circulation. Les orchestres

locaux y entraînent un public en liesse, qui se

déhanche au rythme des tambours, des trompettes

ou des guitares.

Bon mouillage, assez fréquenté

Well protected, except from the rare north

swell, Grand Case Bay is the most picturesque

anchorage in Saint-Martin. It is the perfect

place to anchor on the first or last day of a

cruise between Marigot and Anguilla. Sailors

can tie up their dinghies at the smaller pontoon

for easy access to the center of the village. Life

is back to normal in Grand Case since the passage

of hurricane Irma and there is no lack of

choice when it comes to the restaurants that

line the beach and the boulevard. One can

also find several grocery stores and fashion

shops. At twilight, Grand Case sparkles with

the magic of the caribbean’s spectacular sunsets.

During the high peak of the winter season,

on Tuesday night, the boulevard that runs

along the waterfront is closed to all traffic, and

local bands get everyone into a good mood,

with hips swaying to the rhythm of drums, trumpets,

or guitars.
