St. Lucia's largest estate is located just
outside of Castries, the Marquis Estate
is a 600-acre plantation that dates back
to 1723.
Part of the Marquis Estates beauty is found in its
original volcanic creation. According to studies,
the Marquis area would have been among the
first parts of the island to be formed. 70 million
years of weathering has created a lush, dramatic
landscape of mountain ridges, gentle slopes and
the wide graceful river valley.
The North West of St Lucia is steeped in history.
The family of Empress Josephine, Napoleon's
first empress, once owned the plantation Paix
Bouche just along the ridge southwest of
Marquis; St Lucians claim that the first Empress
of the French was actually born there and not
Martinique.
A civil engineer by trade, the Baron de Laborie
became Governor General of the island in 1784.
In an island wide campaign he restored and
improved much of the island?s infrastructure. A
portion of the old French Road ran across the
Marquis Estate, remnants of stone walls still
remain.

St Lucia lies 21 miles south of its
nearest neighbour, Martinique, 24
miles north of St Vincent and 100 miles
northwest of Barbados. This 238
square mile island is the second
largest of the Windward Island chain, a
sub-group of islands within the West
Indies.
The first European to settle in St lucia
was Fran?ois Le Clerc, known as
Jambe de Bois or wooden leg. He was
a pirate who set himself up on Pidgeon
Island from where he attacked passing
Spanish vessels. The English first
landed in 1605, having been blown off
course on their way to Guyana. Sixty
seven settlers landed and bought huts
from the Kalinago, also know as the Caribs, who
were supreme rulers of the Windward Islands.
One month later only 19 were left and were
forced to flee from the Caribs by canoe.
The French arrived in 1651 when representatives
of the French West Indies Company bought the
island. Eight years later, ownership disputes
between the French and English ignited hostilities
that would endure for 150 years. During this time
the island changed hands fourteen times. St
Lucia was finally ceded to the British in 1814.
In 1842, English became the islands official
language but St Lucia retains a strong French
heritage. The majority of the island´s village and
town names are French, and with the Creole
language
