RonDon--I have heard that free lot is not very safe. Many of the larger restaurants will comp you if you park at the lot that costs $5 or so. We always park there in the pay lot.

John--I had heard reports of locals breaking in to cars in the free lot. I do agree that 'safety' is also somewhat related to the time of day. We are old farts, and I wouldn't personally feel safe walking the streets of Grand Case (or a lot of other places on island) at 11 PM. On the subject of safety in general, I personally very rarely carry a purse on island. Not so much recently, but in the past, there have been a lot of reports of purse snatching by lowlifes on scooters.

Last time I was there (2023) there were gendarmes armed with machine guns patrolling the main street of Grand Case. Never used to be that way. Sign of the times.

jeepers--huh, that's weird. I actually don't mind the $5, as at least that means someone is there in the lot to watch it.

Is this the same $5 lot from years back? It's been a while since we've been there.. The free one was opposite Calmos??
Can you use both if going to the festivities on Tuesday nights?

RonDon--Sorry "best lot"?? The $5 one? We use the one between the lolos and Bistrot Cariabes. The free one is opposite Calmos. I don't think either one is available on Tuesday nights, not sure.
