About the district of

Babonneau (within Castries)

Originally a quiet fishing village, it has gone on to become one of the more popular tourist destinations in the country. Gros Islet is not only the name of one of the island’s better known villages but also refers to one of the eleven quarters.

A lush, hilly, largely rural community just inland from Castries, Babonneau sits at elevation with extensive surrounding rainforest that serves as an important freshwater source for the island. It’s represented as its own constituency within the Castries district and retains a genuinely agricultural, community-oriented character — an appealing option for buyers wanting land, elevation, and cooler hillside air without leaving the island’s more developed and accessible half.
