Cayes-Jacmel

Cayes-Jacmel (Haitian Creole: Kay Jakmèl) is a commune in the Jacmel Arrondissement, in the Sud-Est department of Haiti.

Cayes-Jacmel is down the road from Cyvadier and home to a lovely public beach and has a remarkable farmers market (Wednesdays and Saturdays).

The town is also home to amazing artists and artisans, including work in meticulously created miniature ships.

The region's hydroelectric plant (running on a stream only a few inches deep) is nearby.

The commune is made up of 4 sections: Fort Ogé is part of around 20 military installments, built on the Haitian territory after the 1804 independence: a defensive system aimed to stop a possible return of the French, former owners of the Saint-Domingue colony.
