LIGHT TIP
Site where the first French settlers built the first sugar houses, beach with sand and volcanic pebbles.
The first French settlers, Liénard de l'Olive and Jean Duplessis d'Ossonville, landed here in 1635 in the company of four religious of the Dominican order. They thus marked the beginning of French colonization and built the first sugar houses. The beach is beautiful with its sand and volcanic pebbles, but it has no facilities and it is well deserved: you have to cross a field of about 700 metres in which a few cattle graze quietly before reaching it, but it is worth the effort.
