About his St. Lucia
My St. Lucia is very idyllic. I head deep south to find my balance as often as possible, which happens to be every weekend. The entire island is a huge botanical garden with dream like vistas that meet you at every corner, the capital of Castries being no exception. There’ s nothing like driving through one quaint village after the other and experiencing the richest tapestry of life and color than you’ ve ever seen.
My week days are spent at my family’ s business Eudovic Art Studio which is located in the capital, Castries. On Friday nights you can find me in Gros Islet for the best grilled fish in the world or chilling by one of our many beaches, sipping on something refreshing. I get my fresh ocean fish in Dennery Village every Saturday and I’ m always in Choiseul( arguably the most breathtaking part of the island), every Sunday.
St. Lucia has a bit of everything for everybody. For adventure seekers I recommend a trek up the pitons the safer one being Gros Piton( translation: big Piton) or scuba diving, snorkeling, horseback riding at Grande Anse amongst many other fun adventure things to do. For the best seafood against a wild party setting I recommend, Gros Islet Friday fish festival and street fete, Anse la Raye fish Friday and Dennery Village fish Saturday.
The month of October, creole month, is absolutely amazing. It has become my favorite month. If you want a departure from the ordinary and want to experience authentic St. Lucian culture and cuisine which culminates in an island wide celebration, then October is the month for you.
However, the island now has a perennial festival calendar so just about every month holds something hugely exciting, ranging from the internationally famous St. Lucia Jazz Festival, St. Lucia Carnival and the list goes on. I’ m trying my best to not sound like a tourism commercial but you can’ t go wrong in St. Lucia any time of the year.
