Teresa,
A few years back, we made the mistake of asking our rental company if doing this would be okay and he asked us please, not to leave the car parked there overnight, and of course, once he asked us not to, we couldn't go ahead with plan A. Marigot..... It isn't the sleepy little place it used to be and I guess there is the fear of vandalism or theft. Then again this was a few years ago......and I know people still do it but I personally wouldn't take the chance. As I recall, the rental car company actually offered to pick us up at our resort and drop us off at the Marigot ferry terminal.
And with the new parking ordinances in effect for the city proper of Marigot, it might be wise for you to check with your rental company or the local police? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
Respectfully,

Lesley Bruce did the same thing for us so I'm guessing he didn't trust the reality of us leaving his car parked in Marigot over night. Guessing he knows a lot more than we do about what goes on there.
And I know there are new parking regulations in Marigot as well, though I don't know the specific details or locations where they would apply. To me, it just wouldn't be worth taking a chance at having something go wrong to take the pleasure out of our trip or add any possible stress to it. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

Agreed, no way I would leave a car there overnight.. And the new blue zone parking means I guess that one now has to park fairly far away, just to go to AXA for the day??

I thought the parking area beyond the Immigration station was not the Blue Zone. Galis Bay I believe is NOT Blue Zone. Below is a quote form a previous article: The Collectivité encourages drivers to park their cars in the outer zones such as Bellevue, opposite the tourism office roundabout and the Galis Bay parking areas to optimise the blue zone parking for tourists.
A free shuttle service will be available to transport shoppers or workers from the Galis Bay parking area pick-up point into downtown Marigot at the drop-off point at the market roundabout. It will operate from 7:00am to 7:00pm with departures scheduled every 10 minutes.
The Collectivité encourages employees working in the centre of town to park their vehicles in Galis Bay and make use of the shuttle to get to work.
And the entire ArticleRegardless, I would NOT leave a car parked there overnight.
