Vieille Case, sometimes spelled as Vielle-Case, is a village on the north coast of Dominica. The Commonwealth of Dominica in the West Indies was first inhabited by the Kalinago tribe referred to by the Europeans as Caribs. Itassi (pronounced: e-tassy) is the Kalinago name for the area in Dominica which is now known as Vieille Case. Vieille Case has an estimated population of 726.〔Commonwealth of Dominica, ''Population and Housing Census — 2001''. Roseau, Dominica: Central Statistical Office, Ministry of Finance and Planning, Kennedy Avenue, 2001.〕 The name is a local French term for "old house". When Europeans first settled in the area, they lived there together with the Caribs. The current villagers are mixed descendants of the Kalinagos, the French settlers and the African slaves that were imported to the area. The centre of the village is called "Under The Mango". There are various shops, similar to convenience stores, located here. Few restaurants can be found in this tropical village. There is however, a shop that sells groceries and fried chicken called "Anna's". The mango tree to which the name refers is no longer in the centre of the village. There are two primary beaches, Au Parc and Au Tout. Vieille Case was a filming location for ''Pirates of the Caribbean''. The area was the birthplace of local politicians Edward Oliver LeBlanc, Roosevelt Skerrit and Dominica Parliamentary Representative Alexis Williams. ==Recreation== There are two main beaches in Vieille Case: *Au Parc, used primarily for swimming *Au Tout, used primarily for fishing. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vieille Case」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
