Probably not....they will just protest the order

Fun and games in paradise. 😁

If you are on FB, check out this post. It's public so everyone should be able to see it.

Best explanation of what curfew means here just now.

Good one but people will still get confused or figure it doesn't apply to them.

Thank you.

More clarification.

heard from a few people this evening that curfew may not be enforced until tomorrow night (monday), due to today’s Mother’s Day celebrations

Good thought. France's Mother's Day is on the 4th Sunday in May.

We are flying in tomorrow and staying in Orient, we have also reschedled this 3 times. WE are going to make the best of it and just eat early. Some of the restaurants in Orient are closing until the curfew.

vrboone--Best wishes. I hear that some restaurants in Grand Case are opening early. Do you know which restaurants are going to be closed?

I have been reaching via Facebook to see what options we will have. Le Telegraph, L'Astrolabe, Atelier, Petit Bistrot are all closed for 10 days. (sorry if I butchered any of the spellings)

Home now. When we dropped off our rental cars to Michael (Unity) yesterday afternoon, he told me that he already had two cancellations for next week. Both customers were planning to stay on the French side, and decided it wasn't worth it due to the curfew.

We had dinner at Rancho Del Sol near Orient yesterday (Sunday) and drove through Marigot to Maho / Cupecoy about 6:30pm. We did not see any Police along the way. Not to say that they didn't set up later.

I'm glad we are not planning on staying on the French side. We may try to get an early dinner and watch the sunset in Grand Case... Or blow it off altogether for dinner..

If we were in a similar situation, we might try to have our main meal in the early afternoon and have a light dinner "at home" instead.

You might also try Fabulous Feasts. We have ordered Emma's "food to go" many times. It is equal to many fine restaurants, Emma will deliver, and she is a delightful woman!

No cancellation with us .

Traffic was horrible today coming back from Orient. Steady line of cars going to French side and back to Dutch side. Wonder if it had anything to do with people making sure they crossed before 8.
