An air of sub-prefecture

Un air de sous-préfecture

Excellent
Marigot est le chef-lieu de la partie française de l'île de Saint-Martin ; là se situent les principales administrations. Aussi, le 14 juillet est très festif en bord de port, à l'ombre du fort Louis qui date de 1789, année mythique s'il en est ! Les personnalités "officielles" sont sur leur "trente et un", bien cravatés malgré la chaleur. La fanfare crée l'ambiance ; discours et buffet. Pour la population, l'atmosphère est aussi très détendue avec barbecue en plein air et gateaux "Bastille Day" (!), bleu, blanc, rouge, jusqu'au feu d'artifice nocturne.
Marigot is the capital of the French part of the island of Saint-Martin, there are major governments. Also, on July 14 is very festive edge port, in the shadow of Fort Louis, which dates from 1789, legendary year indeed! The "official" figures are on their "thirty-one", cravats well despite the heat. The band creates the mood, speech and buffet. For the people, the atmosphere is very relaxed with outdoor barbecue and cakes "Bastille Day" (!), Blue, white, red, until the night fireworks.
