Armistice Day is observed in Saint Barthélemy every November 11 to commemorate the agreement that ended the fighting on the Western Front during World War I. The armistice took effect at the "eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month" and was signed in Compiègne, France. This day is marked by various ceremonies and moments of silence to honor those who died in the war. Similar observances occur globally, with notable traditions including a two-minute silence in the United Kingdom and the placement of poppy bouquets at war memorials. The day serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made during the war and is part of broader commemorations that have evolved since the end of World War I.
