INDESTRUCTIBLE
In 1995, hurricane Luis ravaged Saint Barth. The very next day Saint Barth started to recover. Today, Saint Barth is distressed, yet far from being destroyed.
The legendary bar, Le Select, a popular meeting point, sets the tone with its reopening. Guided by force and willpower, Gustavia is coming back to life as the Bar de L’Oubli is also back in business.
“Living in a high-risk area, we are prepared for hurricanes, and have drawn conclusions from past years in order to protect ourselves as much as possible,” explains Hervé Brin, the owner of La Ligne Saint-Barth. “Our goal is to open this week to in order to ensure work for our staff, close to 25 families, and guarantee our exports,” he adds, with a sense of motivation.
As of Thanksgiving 2017, fans of St Barth will be able to vacation in the hotels and villas that are available, such as the Le Village Saint-Barth, a charming hotel that overlooks the bay of Bay of Saint Jean, which will be open.
Images of the damage are impressive, but once this hillside enclave is once again nestled in tropical vegetation, its panoramic views will be every bit
