Saint Barthélemy
Saint Barthélemy is a French overseas collectivity in the Leeward Islands of the Caribbean, a hilly island of about 21 square kilometres ringed by bays and white beaches. Its capital, Gustavia, is named after King Gustav III and recalls nearly a century of Swedish rule.
Louis XVI traded the island to Sweden in 1784, and in 1878, after a vote of the islanders, Sweden sold it back to France. Since 2007 Saint Barthélemy has been a collectivity separate from Guadeloupe; it uses the euro, and its highest point, Morne de Vitet, rises to 286 metres.
