Maison Folio in Hell-Bourg offers visitors a unique glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Réunion Island. This well-preserved Creole house, dating back to the 19th century, showcases the elegant architectural style and refined tastes of the era.

Visitors can explore its beautifully decorated rooms filled with period furniture and wander through the enchanting Creole garden, which bursts with exotic plants and aromatic herbs. The visit provides an immersive experience that brings to life the history and daily routines of the island's former spa town.

For the love of god, save yourself the utter waste of time and money that is the “guided visit”: it’s just a lady going on and on for more than 1:30 hour about totally random things, from plants to birds to AI, that have nothing to do with the house or its history. I wanted to die

Very much authentic and charming 19th century creole style house of a former landlord called Folio. Impressive tropical garden. The entrance fee of 5€ was well worth it.

Slightly overrated garden. The photocopied leaflet with information was such bad quality that we could hardly read anything.

Well maintained garden with a variety of plants and fruit trees. The information was in French only like most places in Reunion Island

Beautiful house to visit. Really authentic Creole house which is well preserved. Unfortunately the guide and your is only available in French and no English information is provided. Would recommend to walk around a bit ! The garden is also great. Entrance without an guide was 4 € per person.
