Fort St Louis
St Martin's largest historical monument overlooks Marigot. Fort
St Louis was built according to plans sent from France by Louis XVI
in 1767 to guard the settlement from invaders. The ruins sit atop a
hill, which is worth the 15-minute steep climb for the panoramic
view of the island afforded from the summit.
Information & Facts
Language
Dutch and French are the official languages, but English
is widely spoken. Locals commonly use a language known as
Papiamento, a mixture of Portuguese, African, Spanish, Dutch and
English.
Money
On the Dutch side the currency is the Netherlands Antilles
Guilder or Florin (ANG), where one guilder is divided into 100
cents, but US Dollars are also widely accepted and prices are
usually quoted in Dollars as well as Guilders. On the French side
of the island the Euro (EUR) is the local currency, although
establishments will also accept US Dollars. There are numerous
bureaux de change and banks throughout the island and ATMs in the
main towns in both national sectors; travellers cheques and major
credit cards are widely accepted.
