About this experience

Churches in Amitié is a guided tour of the historic Catholic and Anglican churches located in the Amitié district on Praslin Island, Seychelles. The activity focuses on the architectural styles, local congregation histories, and the role of these buildings in the island's community life. Visitors walk between the two main sanctuaries, observing their wooden interiors, stained glass, and surrounding cemetery grounds.

What to expect

A 90-minute walking tour covering two active churches: St. Joseph's Catholic Church and the Anglican Church of St. Matthew, both within 500 metres of each other.
Entry to both sanctuaries is included, with access to the nave, altar area, and side chapels, plus a guided explanation of the Creole-style timber construction.
Visitors see original 19th-century baptismal fonts, carved wooden pews, and commemorative plaques listing early Praslin settler families.
The tour includes a stop at the adjacent churchyard, where gravestones date from 1870 to 1950, with inscriptions in French, English, and Creole.
Suitable for history and architecture enthusiasts, as well as travellers seeking a quiet, indoor cultural stop during the midday heat.
The walk is on flat, paved paths, with a total distance of 1.2 kilometres, and each church visit lasts approximately 25 minutes.
