Îlet that was once a fort, a penitentiary and a quarantine facility, home to iguanas and cabris, visits via trails.

After housing a fort (Joséphine), a military penitentiary was built in 1851. It was devastated by a cyclone in 1865. It then became a quarantine center: a lazaretto welcomed new immigrants from Asia until 1890, when the French general staff withdrew its garrison from Les Saintes. Today, the only inhabitants of the islet are the iguanas and cabris that thrive in the midst of the abundant cactus vegetation. There are six trails, each with an audio guide. Picnic available on site.

Accessible en kayak de mer par exemple, vous pouvez amener le pic nic avec vous, il y a des tables à dispositions (mais attention aux chats et poules qui viennent chiper la nourriture !) puis monter voir le magnifique point de vue tout en haut. Il parait qu'il y avait une discothèque en haut, mais elle est en ruine.

The Cabrit islet and history of Josephine during Napoleon! This islet has only one inhabitant which is a friendly potter. Small walk to discover the ruins and a beautiful view of Terre-de-Haut.
