Le Studio Cafe Gallery

Le Studio stands at Pasquière on the north coast, looking over the bay towards Curieuse. It shows the work of photographer Paul Turcotte, who has photographed the islands of Seychelles for about 40 years. The collection includes black-and-white pictures from the early 1980s of local activities that have almost disappeared, and later colour landscapes. Prints are for sale and can be ordered. The shop also sells Mister Bonom di Bwa jams and honey and locally made crafts.

The café serves a small number of guests at lunch and dinner, and booking is recommended; its own page takes reservations by WhatsApp on +248 251 5070. Its own page and its Tourism Board listing, updated 15 September 2026, both say it closes on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, but they give different hours on other days, so check before you go.
