    I did not know where Belle Maniere was and although I live in Dominica, I have not been to Paix Buache yet. I don’t own a vehicle and I don’t have any friends there yet. But I like the picture.

    Why do we have to be so rude????? If somebody does not know where a place is just enlighten them. Come on my people let us treat others as we want to be treated, stop being insensitive after all aren’t we all brothers and sisters? It is time for us to help each other out and get rid of that CRAB mentality.

      There are some people in Dominica who have never even heard of Belle Maniere…much less Paix Bouche. Must you be so unwilling and rude to help enlighten and educate someone.

        NO wonder why Dominica is not moving and the education system is a mess. Instead you provide correction you laughing at what could have been a typo.How can your contributions be appreciated. I hope you have no kids so they won’t suffer the wrath of your criticisms and I hope you are no educator. God forbid!
