Take a walk with me through the main street of Grand Case in French St. Martin and see for yourself why YOU need to visit this small fishing village.
Let me be your guide when you're here. Book me for a private island tour:

Note that Grand Case hosts a Mardi Gras street fair starting in the month of February for 8 weeks on Tuesdays. It's a colorful and cultural event that you cannot miss.

I just want to say, that I love your videos and watch them religiously for months before spending our one cruise port day on the island last week. I'm excited to say I literally followed in your footsteps in Grand Case. We're visited Maison Chocolat, ate at Cynthia's talk of the Town, visited the beach and took iconic pictures under the Pier, and the colorful steps. My husband and I fell in love with the French side and now we are planning to return for longer visit with our family!

Riselle you have done it again and of course this time you highlighted my favorite place in the world! Thank you for transporting me to the beach the lolos the shops and restaurants I always have as a must go when we come to the island. I could smell the crepes as you left the parking lot and then the lolos and the Lobster thermidor at Bistrot Caraïbes as you moved down the street. I could almost feel and smell the sweet air of the beach and felt my toes in the sand. I can't wait to share this with my wife and kiddos we all so love Grand Case as I know you do as well this is definitely a Vidéo fantastique!

Thank you for this tour. Your vids have such great info! We love staying on the French side but at Orient and have ventured for lunch/dinner out to Grand Case many times. Such amazing food!! And we love the LOLOs. You are so right about the Heavenly smells from the LOLOs. It draws you in like the Pied Piper. Lunch at the LOLOs is one of those sweet memories of our favorite Island. (As an aside, the Island is so green!! You guys must have had some great rain thank goodness. It was so dry back in June.)

Loved this! Made me miss the place so much. Whenever we land, as soon as we get our car, my husband insists we go straight to the lolos 😂. He has a mental inventory of which dish is best at which one but we often end up at Rib Shack. Sexy Fruits is my favorite shop and a day chair rental from Rainbow Cafe is a good decision! However, we’re gonna hit Captain Frenchy’s next time because the food looked more our style…That Ti Punch is serious but I’m a lightweight so my opinion is suspect. We’ve been all over the island and the water at Grand Case just seems the most beautiful to me! I highly recommend Tijon. If you haven’t gotten a spa treatment at Nzuri yet - you must go!! So sad that Frontier cut their route to SXM…ruined our plan to be back in November but we’ll be back next year ❤️
