History and Demography
St Lucia holidays will remind you of the bygone era. This island was a major bone of contention between the British and the French. It changed possession for a total of 14 times. The island was first inhabited by Arawak Indians, who were later displaced by the Caribs, French and then the British. St Lucian holidays, thus, exhibit a great amount of aristocratic British architecture and let you settle in the erstwhile colonial era.
