This is the Vins sans Frontieres delivery truck parked at the entrance to Bay Rouge. The center picture is a shot of Bay Rouge. On the right is a shot of David's Hole, a grotto in the rocky point separating Bay Rouge from Nettle Bay.

After Bay Rouge one comes to Nettle Bay. One of the first restaurants is Ti Sucrier, the little sugar bird. The restaurant has a sign out front and this neon beauty above the entrance to the residential complex. Pass by there and follow the signs to the restaurant that is built on a deck surrounding the pool with a view of the lagoon. Try Sylvain's sweetbread casserole with pasta, carrots and asparagus for crunch, and cepes (porcini). Sylvain says that it is his grandmother's recipe.

Ma Ti Beach and Layla's serve as the bookends on Nettle Bay serving food and drinks and allowing beach access to a beach largely blocked off by hotels and commercial development.

Alizes Car Rental is in this area and just before the bridge over the canal providing access to the lagoon is Lucky/Hibiscus Cars, although this jeep was photographed at Orient Beach.

Just on the other side of the bridge is Mario's Bistro, one of the finest restaurants on the island. That is Mario's signature tuna with gorgonzola cheese on a bed of gnocchi with a tomato sauce.

A bit further is Rocky's Ideal Snack serving BBQ that can't be beat. It's especially handy if you are shopping at US Import for fine French produce or at Ted Bakery. that is the Magasin du Pont complex on the left. The Supermarché is US Imports and Ted Bakery is in the back. A little bit further is the stadium and tennis complex and just past that is Cadisco on the lagoon. They have consistently been the cheapest gas station on the island. If you are driving around the island, the next location to the east is Marigot or head west to the Lowlands and Cupecoy.
