Paramin

It is a sprawling, steep and mountainous village whose residents have traditionally been farmers, producing herbs like chives, thyme and parsley, as well as vegetables like tomatoes and yams.

Many of the original residents of the area are descendants of the French Creole migrants to the island following the Cedula of Population (1783) [1] and the surnames reflect this heritage: Constantine, Boisson, Fournillier (Fournier), Isidore, Laurent (Lawrence), Pascal, Romany, etc.

The Cocoa Panyols are an Hispanic (Latino) ethnic mixture of mainly European (Spanish and/or French), Amerindian and African ancestry.

Parang has seen a large resurgence in recent years with mixes of both Soca and even Chutney music with lyrics in English.

The church still offers a well-known French Creole or Patois mass on Dimanche Gras, the Sunday before Carnival,[8] exploring the steep Paramin hills.

Over the last fifteen to twenty years, persons have hiked to the top of Saut D'Eau (Hill and Waterfall) to experience the ruggedness of the mountain trek.
