French
is the official language of the island, although most of the local
merchants understand and speak English. St. Barths operates under
French law and economics, therefore the official currency is the
Euro. US Dollars are readily accepted, although you may get a
better price if you pay in Euros!
With no major cruise ship port and no major airport, St. Barths
remains quiet, tasteful and dignified. St. Barths enjoys a thriving
economy with low unemployment and almost non-existent crime rate.
Visitors to St. Barths enjoy the island's beauty and serenity
without concern for their personal safety. Explore the island's
offerings and enjoy, yet tread lightly as we all want to preserve
its unique charm and local flavor.
