Take one beach-fringed volcanic island, sweltering in the tropical sun for several million years.

• Add a handful of French maritime adventurers in search of a new and better life.
   
• Simmer for four hundred years.
   
• Turn up the heat, and add luxurious villas, elegant small hotels, and world class French restaurants.
   
• Baste with equal amounts of sophisticated relaxation and rustic charm.
   

Put it all together and what do you get? Beautiful St. Barth’s!
