Driving through the local village of Grand Case in the French side of Saint Martin, a unique Caribbean island split between the French collectivity of Saint-Martin and the Dutch territory of Sint Maarten (formerly part of the Netherlands Antilles, but now a constituent state of the Kingdom of the Netherlands). It is one of the smallest land masses divided between two countries. Sint Maarten encompasses the southern third of the island of Saint Martin, while the northern two-thirds of the island constitutes the French overseas collectivity of Saint-Martin. Although this island is controlled by two different countries, there is no real border. There are only monuments and signs that delineate the border. Over 350 years ago the two countries decided that residents of either country could travel across both sides of the border without worrying about any trouble.
