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!

Enthusiastic and knowledgeable

Sherry is enthusiastic and knowledgeable. She's helped us find the right vacation for us, for the right price. But beyond that, she was the first person to tell me that everyone has a different ideal vacation, which allowed me to be true to myself and my needs, rather than measuring up to other people. This kind of deep understanding of people is what sets Sherry apart.
