Hey All, The Gove has been trying for years to take the bar and restaurant way from the owner. They are really on him now. Pat, the owner pays his staff to clean the beach daily, clean up the parking lot, he is the one who installed the trash cans and has them emptied. It takes his (paid) staff up to 4 days to clean up after the easter festivities after the area has been turned into a giant trash bin. He pays taxes to the collectiv. Please help by signing the petition at the link attached to help him save what is a beautiful breach but will become trash if left to the g0overnment. http://www.petitions24.com/support_the_tropical_wave_and_save_galion_beach_spiritthanks! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

Le Gallion. My understanding is that they have been trying to get rid of him for years. Honestly, while I wish him luck, I can't see that the St. Martin government is going to pay any attention to a petition signed by tourists, or even one signed by locals.

Do you know this to be factual with regard to the taxes? Again, are they there 100% legally on the beach? I wish them well.
JohnB..while I don't know the situation, I was wondering about the location and it being protected land.

I would say that is exactly true. And I'm not certain that we SHOULD have a voice. This is a matter that the local government should decide.

I'm confused by the story, but possibly they would build him a restaurant where the old Le Gallion hotel is now?? No idea. But where do these officials get their idea for rents from?? Same crap as on Orient..

John--I think your response, while not encouraging for the future of Tropical Wave at it's CURRENT location, was pretty spot on. Sometimes they appear to be moving at a snail's pace, as was the case on Pinel, but the Nature Reserve seems to be pretty inflexible.
