I’m not sure what he meant. The Pelican Key is a resort in SIMPSON Bay and Le Pelican is a journal on the French side. Hopefully he will update us with better information

It appears to be a media/news company. Newspaper?

One of the comments in the margin said it was a restaurant named the Rare Bird?

I opened the link but Le Pelican was the website for a Journal/News Organization by that name that was hosting the video but NOT what was on fire. What was on fire was supposedly a restaurant named "l’oiseau rare" which translates to "the rare bird". As I said before, I hoped you would update us with more information when it was available and not snarkiness.

Sad to see another piece of the old St. Martin construction heritage destroyed even if the building had lost most of its former glory over recent years. It was an absolute favorite restaurant of ours back in the days we first visited the island. We had a most memorable evening there in 1983, the first year we brought both of our daughters with us and we went back for many years at a time when an evening wandering along the waterfront in Marigot after a wonderful dinner was still a pleasure to enjoy.

It was also posted on Facebook it was the journal building. Wasn't being snark. As with many things posted on facebook, they are no always accurate.

Since it had been abandoned for a while, I do wonder if this was arson, or perhaps a homeless person squatting there?

Oh, yes, I remember it well. And periodically they had a patisserie downstairs from La Vie en Rose. Those really were the days, my friend.......

I think you’re talking about La Peroquette (Sp?) where they served about the biggest prawns I’ve ever seen along with things like fresh bear steaks and breast of ostrich. They served you a glass of bubbly while you waited to be seated. It was sad when her husband passed to see her try to run it by herself. Restaurant business is tough and particularly when you’re trying to live up to an already established great reputation.
