La Clery is a bustling northern neighborhood of Castries, the capital of Saint Lucia. As one of the city's established residential areas, it is perhaps best known for its prominent Catholic church, which serves as a central landmark and community anchor. Its strategic location, situated conveniently between the heart of the capital and the George F. L. Charles (Vigie) Airport, makes it a popular choice for civil servants and port workers. The neighborhood is characterized by a strong sense of local pride, often showcased through well-tended community gardens and neighborhood improvement projects. Due to its elevated, hilly terrain, many spots in La Clery offer beautiful vantage points overlooking Castries Harbor and the Caribbean Sea.
