Also nightlife businesses to close at 11 PM on the Dutch side. Link Not exactly sure what the definition of a 'nightlife business' is..

This will work well for us. Our apt is right on the row in Grand Case. No thump thump thump of the music after 11. Frankly, I can sleep through anything, but my better half would not. ;-)

11pm Curfew won't bother us either really. I think you can still be out and about if you want but most businesses have to close by 11pm.

forever--French side is different than Dutch side. French side is a CURFEW, which means everyone has to be off the streets. Dutch side is "nightlife businesses" are required to be closed at 11 PM, but no curfew. I still don't know what a 'nightlife business' is.

These days, we're never out past 11 anyway. The 8 PM curfew on the French side in June was a different issue, and a much bigger problem, especially if one is staying on the Dutch side and want to eat dinner on the French side.

What about casinos

hope it includes casinos but that is an island money maker so who knows.

Don't know. That's the point. I don't know what the definition of 'nightlife business" is.

The French side curfew has been lifted, effective today.
