Visit the antique “House of Emmanuelle” on which the correspondent movie  was filmed, the cocnut fabrique and, the huge tortoises and enjoy the pictorial beach of “Source d'Argent”. Make sure that you do not miss the often photgraphed “yellow house” during your stay in La Passe, which is said to be one of the most attractive buildings in the archipelago.
