3182 FRANCE (Saint Barthélemy) - Colombier Beach


Located in the northwestern part of the island, Colombier Beach is a secluded beach - an entire bay area only accessible by boat or foot. It is a lovely white sand beach lined with vegetation, and the only building which can be seen from there is the home of billionaire David Rockefeller, origin of the development of a high-end tourism in Saint-Bartholomew. L'Anse de Colombier is now part of the natural marine reserve of Saint Barthemlemy.

About the stamps
The first stamp is part of the souvenir sheet Insects, about which I wrote here. The second stamp belong to the definitive series Marianne de la jeunesse, about which I wrote here.
