Ile aux Nattes has many sandy beaches, with the best beeing at the north of the island. An eight kilometres walk around the island takes about three hours at low tide. Tiny villages and an amazing flora can be discovered during the walk. Ile aux Nattes is well known for ''The Queen of Madagascar'' - a two metres tall orchid with pink flowers. Some groups of lemurs can be found on the island.
One of Napoleon's sons, a Malagasy chief customary, was living on the island. It was him who found out that the island has been recorded under the wrong name at the town council arround 1840. Instead of Nosy Nanto, the name Ile aux Nattes was written in the records. Nanto is a tree which grew in abundance on the island in those days. Its wood, which is very hard, has been used for navy carpentry.<br><br>
