I don't speak French at home but think it no so bizarre to do so in St. Martin (badly).
Home or vacation, I smoke a cigar when walking the neighborhood, beaches and parks (unless posted otherwise), with caution to avoid other peoples' airspace. Not so bizarre as long as there are no laws being broken.
My question relates to recent changes in French law and to what extent, if any, there may be enforcement consequences in St. Martín.
