Every Friday and Saturday is market day where you can buy local goods such as spices, ground provisions and fruits.

It also houses St. Lucia's biggest fish market, and you can go to the mall every day which sells fashion products.

Here you will see historic colonial houses that give Vieux Fort a touch of Old England and France (albeit they do need a bit of renovation now).

The Vieux Fort district is divided into two electoral constituencies represented in the House of Assembly.
