St Martin is less developed than Dutch Sint Maarten, and this is reflected in its capital, the prettily named Marigot. Like its Dutch counterpart, it's a duty-free paradise, chock-full of chic perfume, jewellery and fashion shops, but fortunately has fewer of the cruise ship daytrippers.
Even so, the town is starting to lose some of its historic West Indian buildings to modern structures and car parks geared to the tourist trade. The town boasts two commercial centres. One, around the harbourfront, has a public market, and is where boats to St Barts and Anguilla dock.
