Hi Trey - same here. For the past couple of years we've been the first guests of the season at Perchoir, typically mid-November before Thanksgiving. Like many on this board, we are in wait-n-see mode, giving it another week or so before even trying to reach out to Michel. We've not made alternate plans yet. If you hear anything let me know and vise versa, thanks.If anyone has any information about the damage to villas in Flamands, please share it. We have a Villa Perchoir reservation pending but haven'theard anything from the owners.
Thanks

So sorry to hear this we stayed there many years ago and enjoyed the the house and deck very much. We wish you a speedy recovery for this special villa.Hello all. I am the owner of Lumière (LUM) located in the Merlette section of Flamands. My house and the house directly above me, Villa Arte (ATT) were heavily damaged in the storm. It looks like both houses were in the wrong place at the wrong time and were hit by one of the microbursts that came down on St Barts as Irma passed over. The winds were so powerful that much of my deck just disappeared, my hurricane shutters which were rated for 200MPH were blown apart & many of the heavy mahogany doors were ripped off their hinges.
The good news is that the concrete walls of all three houses are still standing and the roofs while heavily damaged were not totally torn off. Now I have to: rebuild the ipe wood deck, install a new deck railing, get all new doors and windows, new roofs and a new storage building. A long list, but doable.
I am headed down to the island in the next 10 days so I can see the damage for myself. Lumière survived Louis and while Irma may have damaged my house, I am committed to restoring it completely. In the meantime, here are few pictures so you can see the power that Irma had.
For Perchoir fans- as someone noted on different thread, Google Earth has recent update. You can see Perchoir and at least it has a roof and isnt obviously damaged.
Anyone know anything about Polaris...right next to Ile de France?
We have it rented november 12-19.
