PLANTATION HOUSE ON SILHOUETTE




Interesting facts about the PLANTATION HOUSE:

The old Plantation House in La Passe on Silhouette is a building of great dignity and grace, typical of the Creole architectural style, which always provides for a spacious veranda leading around the whole building and a staircase on each side providing more than one entrance or exit.

The Plantation House on Silhouette was probably built around 1861 as a private house for Henri Dauban built, who as owner of the Island employed 250 workers on its 2,000-acre property. At that time, copra, along with cinnamon oil, vanilla and Hawksbill turtle shell, was the main source of income for the Seychelles.

Directions:

This pretty wooden house is located on Silhouette Island, about 40 minutes by ferry from Mahé (Labriz Jetty Bel Ombre). A day trip can be organised through the Hilton Labriz Hotel for about €100 per person including ferry and lunch.

The Gran Kaz is located directly opposite the harbour of La Passe
