Dazzling, fascinating, captivating, gripping, dazzling... get your adjectives ready if you want to marvel at this exceptional site! How can you come to the Seychelles without passing by Source d'Argent, where the oldest granite in the world seems to tumble down the gentle hills into the ocean - as if chaos had suddenly frozen, bringing to a screeching halt huge blocks of stone, seemingly unstable in their balance and made out of papier-mâché. You almost want to get behind one of them and push. This is a veritable fortress, some six hundred and fifty million years old, in which towering coconut palms have taken root. As for the beach, with its very white sand, it adds even more intensity to the turquoise of the crystal-clear water, invariably at 28°C. What a stunning natural setting! You'd think it had been designed by Hollywood, such is its perfection. Photogenic par excellence, this natural backdrop is an ideal photo opportunity: a great guarantee when you've got a foreground shot to highlight. Many fashion and charm photographers have reeled in sculptural creatures on this sand of desires. The rocks and coconut palms of this string of beaches deserve to have their memories told: how many posteriors worthy of posterity have been reeled in by this enchanting setting, where most visitors flock between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m., as a small straw hut-restaurant, christened Lanbousir ("the mouth" in Creole), has sprung up near the bicycle parking area.To enjoy this Source d'Argent, it's best to get up early, as many photographers prefer to work at sunrise, when the rocks turn pink, or a little red as the sun prepares to melt into the ocean. These are the best times for those who want to enjoy this site of intense, strong and gentle (but above all virginal) beauty on their own, far from the crowds of the warmer hours of the early afternoon.An exciting wander around Union Estate Park (entrance fee SR150 for ages 12 and up) is the best prelude to the shock of the Sesels' greatest natural treasure, the unforgettable Anse Source d'Argent, which, when it comes to scenery, easily deserves the Palme d'Or. The Los Angeles Times has already named it " the best beach in the world "... A well-deserved accolade!
