One of the uninhabited islets of the François archipelago, protected with its neighbours as part of the lagoon's quiet cruising ground.
Practical
Position from OSM (Îlet Long). The Îlets du François are a small, mostly uninhabited archipelago belonging to Le François (French Wikipedia). OSM tags Îlet Long, Îlet Oscar, Îlet Thierry, Îlet Lavigne and Îlet Frégate as protected areas. Douglas Yacht Services names Thierry, Oscar and Long as the tranquil islands of the bay. Shallow coral is everywhere, so explore by dinghy at slow speed. Landing rules vary by islet; respect private property and any reserve signs.
