About Mission Ruins viewpoint
The Mission Ruins at Venn's Town stand beside Sans Souci Road, which climbs over the mountains between Victoria and the west coast of Mahé. The site was a mission school for the children of liberated African slaves, and the ruins sit among trees beside a viewing point.
The viewpoint looks out over the forested slopes towards the west coast. We could not find an official fee or opening hours, so treat it as a roadside stop on a drive across the island; it pairs well with the Morne Seychellois trails, which start from the same mountain road. Take care parking on the narrow road.
