Crazy times indeed. You're supposed to literally stay inside your house all the time? I thought you could go out to purchase food or to receive a carry out order from a restaurant?

I am sure there are exemptions but you can’t go and enjoy the beach on the French side according to a friend on the island. They can travel back and forth to the Dutch side and visit the beaches there.

This morning (Tuesday the 17th), there were about 16 people enjoying the beach at Baie Rouge, on the French side, with no interference from gendarmes.

AUC spouse--Do you live on the French side? Is AUC open? Do you anticipate an issue crossing between Dutch and French side?

Doctorj is correct. St Martin is under a lockdown order, the same as the rest of France, with limited exceptions for essential purposes such as such as grocery shopping and picking up food. The lockdown is from Noon yesterday, for 15 days. People who do shop for food technically need an Attestation de Déplacement Dérogiatoire (Certificate of Derogatory Movement), which they can get on the honor system. I don't know how strict they will be about enforcing the lockdown. The Attestation/Certificate can be downloaded from the St Martin/St Barth government website at http://www.saint-barth-saint-martin...ustificatif-de-deplacement-professionnelThere are both French and English versions on the page.

Bahston, One justifiable reason to leave one's home (in France) is "short trips, close to home, related to the individual physical activity of the people, excluding any collective sporting practice, and the needs of pets." (En francais: "déplacements brefs, à proximité du domicile, liés à l’activité physique individuelle des personnes, à l’exclusion de toute pratique sportive collective, et aux besoins des animaux de compagnie.") That justifiable reason can be used to visit a beach close to one's home. I think such trips are legal.
