Car-free harbor village on La Digue
La Passe is the main settlement of La Digue, where the inter-island ferry docks. The island is famous for having few cars, with ox-carts and bicycles as common transport.
The island was settled during the French colonial period and named after a ship. La Passe grew around its jetty as the arrival point for visitors and goods.
