Corossol
A Vestige of Tradition
Nestled in the heart of Saint Barthélemy, Corossol is a picturesque village that bears witness to the island’s rich heritage. Known as a traditional fishing village, Corossol is a window open to a past where time seems to have stood still.
Strolling through its narrow streets, you can easily imagine the fishermen returning from the sea with their catch of the day, and the laughter of the children playing on the banks. But what really sets Corossol apart is its deep connection to traditional craftsmanship. Indeed, the village is one of the rare places in Saint Barthélemy where you can still observe artisans working with straw, creating magnificent hats, baskets and other everyday objects.
Additionally, Corossol is proud of its local costume, a living testimony to the island’s history and culture. These costumes, often worn during traditional festivals, remind us of the importance of preserving traditions in a constantly changing world.
In short, a visit to Corossol is not only a trip to a charming fishing village, but also a dive into the history and culture of Saint Barthélemy. It is a place where past and present meet harmoniously, providing an authentic experience for anyone looking to connect with the true soul of the island.
