Petite Terre Islands

Petite Terre is also the name of Pamanzi island, Mayotte.Petite Terre Islands are two small uninhabited islands located about 10 km to the south-east of the island of Grande-Terre, in the Lesser Antilles. They are named Petite Terre in contrast with the much larger Grande-Terre.

The two islands are Terre de Bas island to the southwest and the smaller Terre de Haut island to the northeast. Their combined land area is 1.68 km2. Terre de Bas island is so named because it is downwind compared to Terre de Haut island to its northeast, which first meets the trade winds blowing from the north-east in the Caribbean.
