The Piton de la Fournaise is a sequence of surreal landscapes. From the lush green prairies of Plaine des Cafres to the basaltic slopes of the volcano , horseback riding through this majestic vista inspires unforgettable experiences and memories.

The purpose of this short guide for good conduct is to make people aware of the fragile natural environment and induce respect for Reunion’s traditions. In Reunion Island a unique, rich native vegetation has formed whose beauty and diversity enthrals. The balance of this natural heritage is fragile and vulnerable and is not spared the constraints of growing tourism.
Environmental issues remain at the forefront of concern in today’s society. These concerns have brought questions: how can one build responsibly, adapt our ways of life, conserve natural resources and reduce consumption? To blend Creole architecture’s traditional elements with responsible construction, Haute Qualité Environnementale draws its resources from the historical and cultural heritage of Reunion Island.
