Travel Guide Saint-Louis Du Sud

Like Jacmel, Saint-Louis was born in 1698 by the will of the Compagnie des Indes. The comparison stops there because, by visiting it today, it is hard to imagine that three centuries earlier this town could attiser the convoitise of the English, who, the first, on the way to Jamaica, already had, in 1657, the site: Cromwell Bay. France did the city, but it had to be bombed by the British in 1758. From this turbulent past, many traces of which the most visible are the canons of the town hall and two forts, the fort to the English and the fort to the olive trees.During the war of independence, St. Louis was one of the bastions of the mulatto, and then Dessalines made him pay dearly for his support for the Leclerc expedition. Since then, nothing has stopped its decline. Today, official speeches continue to praise the Aquin Zone - Saint-Louis-du-Sud, ranking it among the priority areas for the development of tourism due to its exceptional bathing sites… but in fact, nothing advances… For the greatest pleasure of those that wild expanses of fine sand, interspersed with coconut trees, punctuated by the waves of waves. a crystal clear water is still dreaming.
