The only
budget
hotels are located in the town centre, across from the market - expect to wake up early.
Le Kali
(tel 0590/88 40 10; US$25-50) has simple doubles, most with fans and shared baths.
Resorts
are clustered around the marina.
KayAİ La
(tel 0590/88 10 10, fax 88 74 67; US$75-100) has standard doubles with A/C, TV and full bath. If they're booked, as they often are with tour groups, try the
studios
next door at
HA?tel RAİsidence Fort Marina
(same numbers; US$75-100). The classiest option,
MAİridien
, is on the north side (tel 0590/48 05 00 or 1-800/543-4300, fax 0590/88 51 00,
; US$200-250), with balconied rooms, pool, tennis court and private
beach
.
Most of St-FranA§ois'
dining
options frame the marina; the exception,
Jerco Chez Nise
, on rue Paul-Tilby, is a local favourite, with a nine-course menu that makes a great island sampler.
Le Navy
, on the marina's south side, has heaping bowls of mussels, while next door's
Quai 17
serves pizzas. On the north side,
La Terrasse
has an excellent creole prix-fixe menu. Other useful information
