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 25 years, I’ll tell you this upfront: renting a car is the single best decision you’ll make for your trip. I’ve put together everything you need to know — how to compare prices, what insurance actually covers, and where to pick up at the airport.
