Officially, the languages spoken here are French and English. However, it’s immediately apparent to all those who experience Club Med Caravelle that a third language has developed. Baked in the warmth of tropical sun and drenched by the refreshing waves of the Caribbean Sea, families who come here soon learn to communicate through smiles, laughter and an incredibly relaxed body language as well.
It could be that the gourmet cuisine they enjoy enlivens their spirit. It might be that the coastal breezes lighten their mood. Or it may be that the sound of the waves drowns out any thoughts of stress, tension or worry they might have. But whether they’re signaling for a fresh drink from the bar, inquiring how to windsurf or begging for another few minutes in the pool, every parent and child here uses a voice just a little softer, a little more soothing, than the one they use back home.
No one is sure why it happens, and everyone is quite certain that its effects last only as long as the guests remain here, but one thing is for sure no one seems to mind a bit.
