		JACMEL, Haiti -- The quaint, two-story villas with filigreed verandas may need a lick of paint, and the relentless din of motorbikes and dump trucks along the main thoroughfare is hardly conducive to a laid-back Caribbean vacation.
		Jacmel's lush tropical foliage, year-round sunshine, and proximity to other vital stops on the West Indies trade route enticed French merchants to move their homes piece by piece across the ocean on the ships that returned with Haiti's bounty of coffee, bananas, spices, and essential oils that Paris needed for its perfume industry.
		Having survived the strife, Jacmel is focused on its ambitious comeback.
