Valle de Mai photo

The Vallée de Mai's main attraction is the 'coco de mer' palm that produces a nut weighing up to 40 lbs (18kg): the largest nut in the world. What makes this nut even more renowned is that it is shaped like a female pelvis. Its rarity, shape and alleged aphrodisiac properties have led to it becoming a collector's item.
