It was one of St Martin’s legendary beach bars: Calmos Cafe, the always-happening nightlife and culture hub in the heart of the French Caribbean town of Grand Case.

But as it did for much of the island, Hurricane Irma destroyed Calmos, leaving the bar and its staff looking for new hope.

But you can help.

A new fund has been set up to help rebuild Calmos Cafe.

“With this fundraising we hope to rebuild what once was, and again will be, the fabulous Calmos Cafe.”
