Îlet Oscar, Private islet in Le François, France
The oval-shaped Îlet Oscar rises 40 meters above sea level, featuring sandy coves with fine white sand stretching 100 to 150 meters long.
Originally named Viviès Islet after François mayor Auguste Viviès, the site includes a 19th-century colonial wooden house relocated to its current position in 1935.
The island houses remains of an ancient Native American settlement discovered between the main house and an 18th-century limestone kiln structure.
Visitors reach the islet via a 10-minute boat ride from Le François harbor, with two piers serving the island's structures and accommodations.
The islet's boutique hotel contains four ocean-view double rooms with queen-size poster beds and three additional beds in a separate family space.
