Castries - Old Town

The Old Town of Castries, the area bounded roughly by Jeremie, Peynier, Brazil streets and Chausee Road, contains many older buildings with overhanging balconies, gingerbread trim on the gables and touches that characterize French or British colonial buildings in the tropics. While many of these buildings are in need of restoration, walking the streets provides a glimpse of the romance of an era past.

The area is just south of the Castries market.
