Saint-Joseph has a particular atmosphere. There is something very characterful about this village. Built on the slopes of the mountain, Saint-Joseph is the capital of the wild south. You will definitly enjoy Manapany and Langevin which are lovely and accessible places. Don’t miss the farms where turmeric and vetiver are grown.
To see
Manapany
Also known as “Ti coin charmant”, Manapany is a small seaside resort which has been rehabilitated recently. This village has a natural pond with seawater. Manapany is also a surfing spot.

Rivière Langevin valley
From the route nationale, you can drive, ride or walk along the Rivière Langevin for 15 km to the cascade du Grang Galet. A popular spot at week-ends and bank holidays, it seems like all the inhabitants of the south come here to picnic. You can have a swim in the river, go dancing at the open-air café or go trout fishing in Grand-Galet fish culture.Labyrinthe des Sens in Grand-Coude
An original idea conceived by Johnny. Streching over on 3 hectares of tea plantations, lies a real maze. You can also take the opportunity to discover Grand-Coude, a lovely village 15 km above Saint-Joseph.Links
