Rediscover Marigot with a new perspective - The Marigot tour that Stéphie suggests is a superb walk which allows you to delve into the past and understand the evolution of the center of the island as well as the very important relationship between this district of the island and the others.
You will be guided using clear and dated information, anecdotes and archive photos.
A tour that I recommend to everyone, both to tourists curious to learn more and to locals.
Thank you again for this visit ⭐
