The paparazzi come to St Barts island, all year long, but they are especially prevalent during December and January, when we have the most celebrity traffic.  We island residents hate them.  Why? Because they make a mockery of the core value of the island: tranquility.  One of the reasons that most of us enjoy St Barts island so much is because we find happiness in being left alone in our French village that has been placed on a Carribean Island.

Some of these pictures have been around the world, yet most people do not know that they were taken in St Barts.  I have chosen my three favorites to share with you; please keep in mind that these have all been shot in public places, so as not to invade anyone’s privacy.
