Tet Paul Stairway to Heaven
A short walk to a viewpoint overlooking the two Pitons, the Gros and the Petit, with views of the south of the island and the leeward coast.
The trail consists of climbing a steep slope all the way up. After the effort, the reward: the viewpoint from a bench in the shade.
The path is shorter than before (due to the creation of the Tet Paul Nature Trail, for which an additional entrance fee is required).

A lovely walk around the historic site of Pigeon Island, where you can enjoy beautiful views whilst discovering the site’s history.
In the past, it was an island housing a former military base, built under the leadership of Admiral Rodney. The site is now protected and home to a small museum that helps visitors understand the importance of this site during the colonial wars as well as the American War of Independence, and more specifically the Battle of Les Saintes. It is one of the best-known sites in Saint Lucia.
