There are some fabulous photographers on the island, both amateur and professional, who regularly and graciously contribute their talents to this site, the function of which was first exploited by fellow mod, iJEK.

What there ain't is a bike rental/repair boutique(unless it's slipped in without my notice).

[stbartshopper]

It is l'Esprit not L'Espirit.

And this is surprising because we noticed many more bikes this year.

[elgreaux]

there isn't a golf course or a casino...

[LMAC]

And the sign at Entr'acte no longer has an "l" in front of the name.
and, if I'm not mistaken the
Tamarin used to be Le or La ......... but maybe not.

"Anyone who can only think of one way to spell a word obviously lacks imagination." - Mark Twain


But I know some of you are stickers so I'll reluctantly add, there's no "Le" in the name of the restaurant called "Tamarin".

[JEK]

There is an E and two Us in Fourchue.

[cassidain]

Chance is féminin and isn't masculin, donc l'expression is bonne chance and isn't bon chance. :)

[JEK]

There are no beans in La Gloriette's cassolette.

There is no lobster in a cassoulet.

[Theresa]

Call that lobster dish whatever you like. My mouth is watering......

[fins85258]

Wonder if they will ever discover the Lobster Roll

[cassidain]

Wonder if they will ever discover the Lobster Roll

Just as soon as they discover hot dog buns...never, I hope.

[elgreaux]

they sell hot dog buns at the supermarket and we sell a lot of hotdogs at the film festival snack bar :)

[davesmom]

I hope they put lobster in my "Cassolette"...

Geez, look for the Golden Arches next. :nightmare:

[noel]

There isn't the bread lady anymore.
Sad.

[JEK]

There is an e on the end of Repaire and it is Le -- Le Repaire.

Oh, and no e in Choisy.

[george]

Touché !

[JEK]

There is a L' in L'Isola.

[stbartshopper]

St. Barth not St. Barts

[davesmom]

In French, you don't need a period if the abbreviation ends with the letter of the actual word. St Barth
e.g. M. for Monsieur, Mme for Madame

[cassidain]

Plus, the word saint when used, not to describe the canonized person him or herself, but the fête celebrating the saint or any church, town, street, square, etc name memorializing the saint requires a hyphen between saint and the saint's name. Also, when referring to the saint him or herself, saint is not capitalized, whereas it is in all other cases. Finally, when referring to the saint him or herself the word saint must be spelled out. In all other cases it is strongly preferred that saint be spelled out but may be abbreviated. Gender and number agreement applies.

So, the island is, de préférence, Saint-Barthélemy. St-Barth or Saint-Barth otherwise. The saint himself is saint Barthélemy. The festival day is la Saint-Barthélemy.

[elgreaux]

but no hyphens in English please, just plain old Saint Barth will do...

[cassidain]
