architecture reminiscent of New Orleans.
Jacmel is also proudly known as the "The Handicraft Center of Haiti". In many beautiful and shaded garden you will find artists producing creative and practical goods that
are irresistible, but best of all affordable. Jacmel artists are master recyclers. They use paper mache and pounped metal to create their original handicrafts.
