  Picturesque Church
by canuckmike
 
 

At northernmost point of the island is Cap Malheureux. The main reason to come here is for the picturesque red roofed church. If you are into photography you will have to come here for that. According to local legend this is where Virginie (Paul et Virginie) washed ashore after the St. Geran sunk. It is also here that the British landed in 1810 to capture the island.

Review Helpfulness: 4.5 out of 5 stars
