Right after hurricane Irma, I saw pictures of Calmos Café and it looked like it was flattened. Can anyone tell us if they are rebuilding Calmos, and if so, what progress has been made and is there an expected open date?

We are going in March and always stay in Grand Case, we would love to know the status of Calmos also. We've has a lot of great times there.

The last that I read they were waiting on the government to tell them if they will be allowed to rebuild. :-(

Don't know if it's true but I'm sure I read that the Calmos got a couple of containers and loaded everything from inside the Calmos into the shipping containers. If it's true it was a very smart move...... There are pictures on their facebook loading the containers the day before the storm......I agree they didn't just lock the door and hope for the best they instead were very proactive putting them in a great position to rebuild cheaply (their hut wasn't really a marvel of construction) yet are still stuck in limbo. I'm assuming this has something to do with the setbacks the French seem like now is a good time to enforce/introduce. I do like setback laws for new development areas but I think when the town has already been built a certain way you have to take that under consideration. I expect an official government decision on all these waterside rebuilds that are limbo in about 2-3 years (sarcasm.....but sadly possible).

You know, I don't understand why the lolos in Grand Case are open, have been for several months, and apparently other people don't have permission to rebuild and reopen. Doesn't make sense to me.

We just heard from our friends at Piazza Pascal and they told us that they have only been open to the public for 2 weeks and that Piazza Pascal has been repaired. However they indicated that Grand Case is stagnant; Not much progress and not completely cleaned up. The problem seems to be either the businesses were leased out without having insurance on the buildings or they are waiting for insurance money.
