Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for Praslin right now.
Praslin's shops mostly offer artisanal crafts and curios and are fairly limited. The unique double-nut Coco de Mer seeds are on sale in the Vallée de Mai Park, but they’re part of a strictly controlled quota—if you buy one, make sure that it has a label that authenticates its origins. Most shops cluster around the Bay St. Anne jetty and the popular Côte d’Or beach.
