Come and experience a part of history and see a great view of Marigot and the lagoon at the same time. Another piece of St. Maarten St. Martin history. The Dutch took over this site in 1816 and renamed it from Fort Trigge to Fort Willem. Here there is an incredible panoramic view of neighboring islands. The drive is pretty treacherous, so you might consider walking.
Most restaurants are open lunch as well as dinner.
This is the heart of the French side. The colonial architecture, luxury boutiques, and fine French cuisine are not to be missed. There are two museums on the island. The Dutch side holds the Sint Maarten Museum. The hours are from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Saturday.
