A Touch of The Seychelles
by Claude Pavard
This impressive documentary is an artistic approach to
the many interesting and admirable traits of the various
Seychellois islands. To increase downloading accessibility,
the program has been conveniently separated into four parts.
Each portion maintains a non-commercial approach to the
many social, spiritual, and natural aspects of this "Eden-like"
society.
Seychelles Part I
This segment focuses on the various points
of why both now and historically the Seychelles have
been an important point of interest for the world.
Our visit includes a personal tale of an original
Administrator of Silhouette Island re-visiting
his home after 18 years. Despite the expanse of time,
both boat making and copra (or coconut) production
remain barely changed, while the notoriety of
the largest tourist beach, Beau Vallon, increases worldwide.

Seychelles Part III
This portion is a highlight for those seeking the natural wonders of
the rarely visited Farquhar Islands. Beginning with a deep-sea fishing trip, we

catch and process procedure. The culture of these islands depends upon the fish industry
for survival. Tourists today visit these islands for the exceedingly diverse
wildlife which almost always includes the giant tortoise.
This part also describes the copra industry on Farquhar Island.
It therafter goes onto Cosmoledo, and the giant atoll of Aldabra,
also known as Darwin's Island, explaining the
