Île Royale

Once the administrative headquarters of the penal settlement, Île Royale has several restored prison buildings, including a fine prisoner-built chapel and a restaurant-guesthouse where it's possible to eat an excellent lunch and even spend the night. The Centre Spatial Guyanais also has a huge infrared camera on Île Royale.
