Seychelles Jump to: Introduction Facts for the Traveler When to Go Events ... Maps Introduction If you're looking for that unspoilt tropical paradise thousands of miles from anywhere, the Seychelles fits the bill. Aside from palm-fringed beaches and superb snorkelling and diving, there's also plenty of forested wilderness filled with an abundance of wildlife. But paradise comes at a price - there's very little in the way of budget accommodation here, and taking a dive with the fishes will set you back a pretty penny.

Every surface is worked over again and again with animals, people, rampant vegetation and crisp white buildings..." The silkscreen shown here is "Anse Royale," presented courtesy of Mango's Fine Art Gallery in Barbados which exhibits a retrospective of Michael's works.

In 1609, a British East India ship made landfall, and in the next few years shiploads of pirates moved their operations to the Indian Ocean from the Caribbean and used the islands as their base. In 1742 the governor of Mauritius, Mahé de La Bourdonnais, sent a ship to check out the islands. Ship's captain Picault named the main island after his governor and laid the way for the French to claim the islands 12 years later. In 1770 the first load of French settlers and slaves arrived on the island and started growing spices, cassava, sugar cane, coffee, sweet potatoes and maize, as well as harvesting the giant tortoise. By the end of the 18th century, the islands were looking pretty choice and the British were taking an interest.
