It’s filled with gourmet restaurants, the chicest of shopping boutiques, a vibrant nightlife, beautiful viewpoints, and white sanded beaches with lots of private little nooks to explore. When you arrive in St. Barths, you immediately feel the Parisian meets St. Tropez vibes here! The official language there is French, but everyone speaks English.
