However, anyone looking to experience true Caribbean culture instead of a manufactured offering, should consider the natural environmental beauty and friendly, genuine people of Chateaubelair.
In the 1790s, Chateaubelair was the scene of some parts of the anti-British rebellion led by Joseph Chatoyer.
