Indeed, the island is divided into two: French side (Saint-Martin) and Dutch side (Sint Maarten). In the end, there is no real “side”, you can speak French and English wherever you are.

There’s a wonderful cultural mix with people from all the Caraibe and Antilles: Haiti, Guadeloupe, Santo Domingo, Dominica, St Lucia… We can feel all these influences in food !
