Located north of Gustavia, Corossol is a tiny fishing village surrounded by green hills. The 300 residents speak an old Norman dialect, and a very few older women still wear provincial dress, including white sunbonnets called the
quichenottes (kiss me not). The town's InterOceans Museum (closed Monday) is the life's work of Ingenu Magras, who began his international collection of thousands of shells as a boy in 1925. More are added each year.
North of Corossol is Colombier, a residential area of enchantingly trimmed red-roofed cottages overlooking a sail-flecked bay.
