Reunion Island

The Districts: Sainte-Rose

Sainte-Rose lies at the heart of the wild south. Its landscapes have been shaped by the vagaries of the volcano. The wrath of the ocean has designed impressive cliff faces. Lying at the foot of the Piton de la Fournaise, Sainte-Rose has been the victim of most of the lava flows, which cut across the road every time. Other interesting spots include: its diving spots with magnificient falls (among which Grand Brûlé’s), the Queser’s wreck, its tiny harbour and its majestic suspension bridge which spans the Rivière de l’Est.

To see

Anse des cascades

After having driven downhill for 2 km, one finds oneself in a palm grove scattered with majestic tropical almonds. At the end of the path, lies the Anse-des-Cascades harbour, where boatmen show considerable skill to launch and remove their traditional pirogues.

Notre Dame des Laves

The witness to a night of 1977, when the volcano forced the inhabitants to leave their houses.

The sentier du littoral

This hiking trail, designed both for families and sportsmen, allows you to discover the local flora over 15 km, from Sainte-Rose’s marina to Anse des Cascades.

The Marina

Sainte-Rose’s marina was an important battle scene between the colonists and the English in 1810.
