Castries is the capital of the Caribbean island Saint Lucia. It is located on the west coast and is an important tourist destination, partly thanks to the cruise ship port at Pointe Seraphine.
George F.L. Charles Airport connects St. Lucia via frequent flights to Martinique and Guadeloupe. The harbour is also served by high-speed catamarans to Guadeloupe, Martinique and Dominica, making Castries an ideal base for island hopping.
Castries is worth a stop, with its best feature being the soaring Morne Fortune (2795ft), which serves as the town's scenic backdrop. Most of the city’s historic buildings were destroyed by major fires between 1785 and 1948, but it still makes for an interesting stroll. The markets are mostly given over to selling tat to cruise-ship passengers but you can find interest back in the recesses.
Castries was founded by the French in 1650 as Carénage (meaning safe anchorage) when St. Lucia was purchased by Jacques Dyel du Parquet, the governor of Martinique. It was renamed in 1756 after Charles Eugène Gabriel de La Croix, marquis de Castries, commander of a French expeditionary force to Corsica that year. The earlier settlement across the harbour at Vigie, started in 1651, was abandoned after a devastating hurricane in 1780. From 1803 to 1844, the British made the town a major naval port and built fortifications on Morne Fortune, the mountain that overlooks this important harbour. By 1844, Castries had a population of 4,000. By the end of the century it had become a major coaling station, because it was the only port in the Caribbean capable of accommodating the Royal Navy.
During World War II, a German U-boat sailed into Castries harbor and sank two allied ships in 1942, including the Canadian ocean liner RMS Lady Nelson, which was subsequently refloated in the harbour and taken to Canada to be converted to a hospital ship.

St Lucia 2017 - Driving to Pigeon Island National Park
In the video I am driving from my Airbnb to Pigeon Island National Park in St Lucia. I found out that is was closed for the day though. There was a festival there, but it didn't start until later in the day. Instead starting walking on the beach of the Sandals Resort. I will have a video of that on YouTube soon.

A Day In Castries, St. Lucia [180 Day Cruise Around the World]
Enjoy Castries, St. Lucia in the beautiful Caribbean with us as we CRUISE around the WORLD on our Epic Adventure!
If you'd like to receive IMMEDIATE ACCESS to our ENTIRE Epic Adventure 180 Days Around the World vlog series, simply join us at:
TRANSCRIPT:
Welcome fellow adventurers!
Today, we are in St. Lucia - this is another one of the volcanic islands and there are many, many fishing villages that we visited today.
You don't find the great beaches that I saw in the Netherlands Antilles here, but what's unique about this island is they have something called the Pistons and these are large cone shaped croppings, I think that were created by volcanoes, and they shoot up straight out of the ocean and go up to a couple thousand feet above sea level.
We also stopped at a beautiful Botanical garden that had so many different flowers and a waterfall, hot mineral baths, and all kinds of trails. We had a great time there was so many different types of flowers that you see in the tropics.
Also, there is a lot of bays in this area - which we have several pictures of.
Our final destination that we drove though in this area, up these one way roads, was Soufriere and it was established by the French, back in 1746. It has all kinds of gingerbread houses, and that where we also saw the Pistons I told you about.
Some interesting facts about St. Lucia was it was founded by the French in 1650. They've had multiple hurricanes throughout the years that have damaged a lot of things.
What had happened is between the French and the British this island has seven times been taken over by the French, and seven times taken over by the British - which at this point in time it is a British island still.
So when we got to Soufriere, we got off the bus, and had some lunch and got on a catamaran - we were able to take the catamaran back to our port where our ship was!
It was interesting because much of the land were sheer cliffs that had rainforest grown through them.
What was interesting is they said the plant that is the plant of St Lucia is bamboo, because they have planted bamboo all over the island, especially on these roads where they have sheer cliffs going down, because the bamboo keeps the sheer cliffs from falling into the ocean!
On the way back the catamaran stopped in this beautiful bay where everyone got off and was able to go swimming and enjoy the backdrop of the rainforest!
In closing, my wish for you is that you will love abundantly, protect your health, and be adventurous for life. You are beautiful. Let your light shine, Aloha!
~ Kari

Castries St Lucia
Castries the capital of Saint Lucia is often used as a cruise ship landing hub and a center for exploring the rest of the Saint Lucia attractions.
However the city itself has much to offer. With a small population of 11,000, Castries is a port city that is bustling with life. The heart of the city is its vibrant market area.
And Castries is eminently photogenic. It is surrounded by a sheltered bay where enormous cruise ships anchor at the foot of the 2795 feet high Morne Fortune.
This is a colonial city founded by the French, and its history is evident in the few colonial edifices that remain despite the two major fires that destroyed most of its historic buildings.
If you love to island hop, Castries makes a great base with its catamaran-filled waters. And if you love shopping, make sure you arrive there with maximum overdraft.
