Details About Gustavia, St Barthelemy

St. Barts' capital, dollhouse-size GUSTAVIA, is an appealing blend of red-roofed villas and heavy-set grey-stone buildings that plays second fiddle to its deep U-shaped harbour, where yacht-watching over a bottle of wine at a waterfront cafe ranks as the unofficial town sport. A close runner-up for that title is shopping, as dozens of duty-free boutiques line the main drag, Rue de la Republique.
