  • Day 2: Pick up the keys to a rental car and cruise around the island. Stop off at Loterie Farm then head to Quartier D’Orléans, a seaside village on the eastern coast.

  • Day 3: Don’t head home without savoring a sumptuous meal in Grand Case, known for its gourmet French cuisine. Time your visit to catch a glimpse of the elusive “green flash” as the sun sets over the ocean.
