Sous le Vent/Au Vent

Senior Insider
a recent villa inquiry, concerning a villa that intrigued me but which is on the end of the island I favor less, prompts this post and inquiry: who favors Sous le Vent villas; who favors Au Vent villas?

and, of course, for why ?

Ha !

I think we have a decided preference for the East end. Partially because new sidewalks for pedestrians make walking safer in many places. Not sure if any new sidewalks have been added to Sous le Vent end since we were last there?
