WHATTODOINANDAROUNDTOWN
Taolagnarooffersachoiceofbeachormoun-
tain. The best easy-to-reach beach is
Libanona,
with excellent swimming (but beware the
strong current), snorkelling and tide-pools. The pools to the left of the beach (as you face
the sea) seem best. Look out for a bizarre, frilly sea-hare, anemones and other extraordin-
ary invertebrates, as well as beautiful little fish.
Fort Flacourt
(
Tue-Sat 08.00-11.00 & 14.30-17.30
) This fort is now a working milit-
ary compound so a guide is obligatory for a tour. A museum,
Musée de l'Anosy,
exhibits
old maps, photographs, uniforms and other cultural artefacts.
Libanona Ecology Centre
(
Mon-Fri 08.00-12.00 & 14.30-17.30
) This beautiful site
was set up in 1996 by a group of local ecologists as a regional training centre for environ-
mental science and conservation, with a generous grant from the Andrew Lees Trust. Do
stop by: the LEC is open to visitors and the students welcome the opportunity to practice
their English.
