Ile aux Phares features an old lighthouse over 200 years old, now a historical monument. In 1810, Ile aux Phares and Ile de la Passe were sites of the naval battle of Grand Port, the Napoleonic Navy’s only victory, commemorated on the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.

The islands showcase a striking contrast between the calm turquoise lagoon on one side and the powerful waves of the Indian Ocean on the other.
