**Vigie** is part of [Castries](/source/Castries), [Saint Lucia](/source/Saint_Lucia).

The French established a village at the base of Vigie Hill in 1745, and a military headquarters on Vigie Height. Three forts were built, Choc Fort facing [Choc Bay](/source/Choc_Bay), Fort St. Victor at the entrance to Grand Carénage Bay (Castries Harbor), and Fort Montagu overlooking Petit Carénage Bay.[3][4]

[George F. L. Charles Airport](/source/George_F._L._Charles_Airport), one of Saint Lucia's two airports, is located in this part, and [Vigie Beach](/source/Vigie_Beach), as well as one of Saint Lucia's two [lighthouses](/source/Lighthouses).

The Prime Minister's official residence and [Saint Mary's College](/source/Saint_Mary's_College_(Saint_Lucia)) are also located in Vigie.[5][6]
