More popularly known as St. Barts, the island of Saint Barth\u00e9lemy is a Caribbean territorial collectivity of France. For many years the island used to be a part of another French overseas region- Guadalupe however since it voted to secede from the country, it became its own independent overseas collectivity of France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

St. Barts is a tiny volcanic island encircled on all sides by shallow reefs with a population of only 10,000 people as of the last census. Due to its poor soil and water sources, the island was uninhabited for many years with the Arawaks and Tainos only visiting periodically however by the 17th<\/sup> century the French settled in on the island with initial settlers numbering around 60.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the year 1960, the island began to look into tourism as a source of income since it had such few economic prospects. Tourism is now of the major exports of the island especially during the winter season thanks to its warm Caribbean weather, stunning beaches, and captivating landscapes.  It is often touted as a high-end luxury holiday destination however for those willing to look hard enough, you'll find that there is a little something for everyone and the island is actually quite accessible for people from every class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
