The eight contestants vying for the title of Miss Saint-Martin and Saint-Barthélemy 2026 made a brief visit to Saint-Barth on Wednesday, July 8. After being welcomed at the territorial government’s hotel, the contestants and the Committee (along with Layla Berry, Miss 2019, Inès Tessier, Miss 2022, and Sasha Bique, Miss 2024) went to meet with sponsors before having lunch at Le Sélect and taking a surfing lesson taught by instructors from Ajoe in Lorient. The pageant is scheduled for August 1 in Saint-Martin.
