This white-and-blue chapel, founded in 1905, offers a panoramic view from its hillside at an altitude of 200 meters.

The Notre-Dame-du-Calvaire chapel, tinted white and blue, was erected in 1905. It stands at an altitude of 200 meters on a hillside and is still well maintained. Access is quite difficult on foot, as the path is steep, but the effort is rewarded with a superb panorama of the island's landscape and neighboring islands. Numbered crosses guide you along the way. It's also possible to get there with an all-terrain vehicle. You can then continue along the ridge path.

A ne pas manquer / l ile la plus authentique
Rien à voir avec les Saintes envahie par le tourisme de masse. Le sanctuaire de cactus splendide, la piste de la chapelle à l autre bout de l ile se pratique en quad ou 4x4..avec le guide c est mieux... Les iguanes endémiques de. Cette ile en font une curiosité. Différents de la guadeloupe. L atelier du travail des bijoux à la main merite le détour, sentiers de randonnée avec points de vue féerique, magnifique plage, cimetière marin atypique avec la tombe du surfeur.... Un véritable havre de paix fait pour ceux qui aiment la vraie nature... Des agoutis en liberté, des cabris, des poules... Des noix de cajoux arbre l anacardier... Un joyau....

Pas grand chose à voir de la léproserie dont il ne reste quasiment rien. Seul le souvenir remue un peu les tripes quand le guide explique mais bon, plus rien à prendre en photo ! Même le cimetière n'est pas franchement top, c'est décevant (comparé à la petite merveille des Saintes... !). On y va parce que l'île est petite...
