Balembouche
Balembouche (also called ''Balenbouche'') is the original name of a historic 18th-century sugar plantation, Balenbouche Estate, which is now a guesthouse, designated heritage site and organic farm on the island of Saint Lucia. It is located on the south west coast of the island, near Bongalo and Piaye. The entire area where the original 500+ acre estate was historically located is sometimes still referred to as "Balembouche" by locals. However, this is misleading, since those new developments, including an area called "Parc Lane" are no longer or were never part of the original Balembouche plantation. Historically, there are multiple spellings of the name, all referring to the same sugar plantation established by the French under colonial rule. Some alternate spellings include Ballembouche, Balambouche, and Balenbouche. The name first appears on St. Lucia maps in the late 1760s. The exact origin of the name Balembouche or Balenbouche is not known. Possible translations inclu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
