Shimmy into an island where you can visit two countries in a single morning. Call into a little French capital sprinkled with coral-coloured houses, lively markets, boulangeries and bistros. Wind down where turquoise waters roll gently over soft sandy shores and drop into chic Orient Bay for a dash of pizazz kissed by gentle trade winds. Shop chocolate and cheeses in Dutch emporiums. Hike the French slopes, Fort Amsterdam, horseback ride, dive deep underwater or pilot a gyrocopter to observe worthy eco-sites that shelter diverse flora and fauna. St Martin is a magnifique.
