Not far from Gustavia, the webcams of which can be found on the site, is Saint-Jean airport.
It is also called the airport Gustave III, Saint Barthélemy, Remy de Henin. It is a public air harbor. It is served by small regional commercial planes and charters between the islands. Most of them carry less than 20 passengers.
The airport has a short runway, no more than 600 m. It is located quite close to the road, which can be seen on Gustavia's webcam overlooking the air harbor. In addition, the strip is at the base of a gentle slope that ends at the beach. Airplanes are forced to fly over sunbathers. A landing license is also required to land. Because of these factors, Saint-Jean is ranked as one of the most dangerous in the world.
The terminal building was opened in 1984 by the Minister of Sweden. In 2015, the airport was named after the aviation pioneer and mayor of Saint Barthélemy, Remy de Henin.
Saint-Jean is located in a picturesque place - on the island of Saint-Bartholomew.
It is only 25 km long. It was discovered at the end of the 15th century. Christopher Columbus and named him Bartolomeo. Now it is unofficially called "Caribbean Saint-Tropez" and "the island of millionaires."
On the island, you can not only sunbathe and swim in the sea, but also visit local attractions and events. For example, you can climb the summit of Morne de Vite or attend many different festivals. It also hosts windsurfing sports, catamaran races, boat and sailing regattas.
The island gained popularity in 1957, when David Rockefeller acquired a site here. He built an elegant mansion that has survived to this day. Following him, representatives of the Rothschild and Ford family became the owners of the land. Then millionaires and world stars began to come here.
Interestingly, Saint Bartholomew has requirements for the construction of houses. So, the building cannot disturb the landscape, that is, the height and shape must be observed.
Also, the roof color can only be red, green or brown, which can be seen on Gustavia's webcams. In addition, all the beaches on the island are accessible to everyone. You cannot buy a piece of land directly adjacent to the sea.
