Hi, I’m Victoria!
I’m a French woman who grew up dreaming of white sand beaches and palm trees — and actually did something about it. Nearly 25 years ago, I packed my bags and moved to St Martin. I never looked back.
I’ve been living here ever since, raising my family on this little slice of paradise — discovering new hidden gems and sharing them with our community of 50,000 followers on Facebook.
I started sharing my love for this island back in 2010 with a food blog, because honestly, the restaurants here deserve their own religion. Since then, that passion evolved into BookStMartin — my little corner of the internet dedicated to helping you plan the best possible trip to the island I’m lucky enough to call home.
Local knowledge. Real recommendations. No fluff.
As someone who’s lived here for years, I tell every visitor the same thing: renting a car is always the best decision.
It gives you total freedom — no taxi stress, no missing hidden beaches or great restaurants.
I recommend comparing car rental deals with DiscoverCars.com.
They hold a strong 4.6/5 rating ⭐ on Trustpilot from over 261,000 verified reviews, with more than 92% customer satisfaction.
I particularly appreciate their transparent pricing, clear insurance options, and free cancellation policy.
Pro tip from me: Reserve early for the best rates, especially in peak season.
