For the coffee festival, superb guided tour. The explanations were clear.
It’s a shame that the stands are not organized in terms of timing and route. To drink a coffee we waited 50 minutes standing just after paying the entrance fee... so we missed the latte workshop.
The concert was great

Visit not really wanted, part of the package of four entries and ultimately it wasn't so bad 😅. Exhibition on the Orient and its art, Japan, China, India... To do for the curious and lovers of the Orient.
Also on the site is the history of the island's first culture... Coffee! And also see the preserved site of the masters' house and what remains of the slaves' and workers' kas.

Nice small museum which presents arts in Réunion and also the domain which used to be a coffee and then a sugar cane estate.
