Correct. Where do you want to pick up your prize?Rivage? Were you a guest at villa Case et Cuisine?
I don't see a date . . . I wonder when the article was written? If a recent article, I think that they must be old photos because the one showing a large beach is, I believe, seriously out of date . . . unless recent weather brought back a lot of sand.
Dennis, this was from an email I’d received from Caribbean Journal yesterday, 12/13. I agree, the pics shown are way out of date.

Well, rats. We've looked at Les Islets often, but I've always hesitated because of the lack of sand. Seeing those pics was making me rethink our decision. Our other hesitation was the inability to walk across the end of the runway in the sand. Does anyone know what the current "rules" are regarding this? It would be nice to wander down to Pearl for lunch.
Good question Diane!
does the voice on the loudspeaker try French or English as a first attempt to warn off trespassers?
Thanks cassidain - my pilot husband found your information very interesting! Does that imply that you can cross and avoid reprimand as long as you a) look both ways first, and b) don't dilly-dally?
