 St Lucia is a
volcanic island of outstanding natural beauty. Within its
20 mile length there are 3000ft mountain peaks, dormant
volcanoes and the spectacular ‘Pitons’ - two volcanic
mountains which soar at impossibly steep angles straight
from the sea. The south of the island is highly
mountainous, while the north levels out slightly and is
where you’ll find most of the hotels and resorts.
Many people particularly
love St Lucia because of its strong French flavour and
many of the place names are French. This isn’t really
surprising when you learn that control of the island
passed between the British and the French 14 times!
An internationally renowned
jazz festival, fine food (that French influence again) and
superb sea based activities all make for a great holiday
island. |
