St Barthelemy ("St Barths" or "St Barts" in short) is a small island 5 miles long and 2 miles wide.
Located in the chain of the Caribbean islands, about 10 miles Southeast of St Maarten, this small "part of France" in the West Indies, renowned for its peace and its beauty, attracts every year
many visitors from all over the world.
The island depends administratively on Guadeloupe.
In 1946, Guadeloupe (on which St Barth depends administratively), as well as Martinique receive the status of "overseas territories of France". The inhabitants got a passport.
They have then the same rights and duties as any other Fench citizen of the mainland.
