Last week I took a trip to Colombier, on the French part of our island. Colombier is a valley almost in the centre of the island, where you cannot see the sea or ocean, which actually makes it a very special area. As you may know St. Martin/St. Maarten is a very small island in the Antilles and it is possible to completely drive around in let's say about 2 hours. Fortunately we do have traffic jams and rush hours here, so that makes it feel like a bigger place!
The valley of Colombier has been a sugar cane plantation in the past and the basic product was used for rum production in those days. Today it is a very green and lush landscape which reminds me of certain parts of France, when you drive on the Route National which runs parallel to the autoroute du Soleil. It seems to have the same kind of feeling, of atmosphere and you can imagine I enjoyed being there.
