Attractions

One of the main attractions of the island is the quiet and idyllic setting it provides especially if you have sailed here in your own or hired yacht!

 

But for the history buffs, despite its small size, there are a variety of Museums to visit with the main one being FORT NAPOLEON. There is also FORT JOSEPHINE DE L'ILET A CABRIS once the "key to the Saints", heavily armed in historic times, BATTERIE DE LA TETE ROUGE Completed in 1870, currently a protection for telephone and radio installations of the island, PENITENCIER DE L'ILET A CABRIS built in 1851 as a prison and later served as a centre for leprosy.

 

Finally, there is the TOUR MODELE DU CHAMEAU, a fortified watchtower of 309m, dominating the landscape of the archipelago and ensuring its protection against the English from Dominica. Prepare to walk approximately three hours there and back.
