In the days of the penal colony, epidemics were commonplace due to the poor sanitary conditions and promiscuity of the prisoners. To curb the spread of epidemics such as leprosy, the speed of which was increased tenfold by the tropical climate, it was decided that convicts who contracted the disease would be quarantined on this islet, immortalized in the film Papillon (1973). Today, there are no facilities left to visit, but it has become a pleasant spot, particularly for picnicking, as a carbet has been installed for this purpose.
