Fort Gustave

Gustavia, St Barts' red-roofed capital, is a small harbor town lined with chic boutiques, duty free shops, gourmet restaurants, and galleries. It is the main town of the island of Saint Barthélemy (also known as St. Barts). It was named after King Gustav III of Sweden. St. Barts was a French possession originally, and the area was called Carenage after the shelter it provided to damaged ships. Gustavia was founded after Sweden bought the island from France in 1785. The island was sold back to France in 1878.

For beautiful sightseeing views, visit Fort Gustav (the most important fort during the Swedish period), or head to the top of the 29 m hill for vistas of Shell Beach amid the few remaining stonewalls of Fort Karl!

Excellent service, very detail oriented

Excellent service, very detail oriented Denise's recommendations could not have been better. We stayed at two properties on this vacation, both were fabulous, and couldn't be better situated as far as location. She is one of the better travel agents have ever worked with. She knows her stuff but is not pushy. Denise is efficient, thorough, professional and courteous. I would highly recommend her and will be using her again.
