So named because of its location at the foot of the Piton des Neiges, the church is built in the Art Deco style of the 1930s. Its half-moon façade makes it original. The nave and choir were made by cabinetmakers from the Rivière-Saint-Louis region. Before entering, on the left, the tomb of Father Boiteau, a builder much appreciated by the villagers. When his death was announced, the faithful built the tomb in a single night. For some, it has miraculous virtues. Since the year 2000, the church has been listed in the inventory of historical monuments.

At the end of the main street, dominated by the piton des neiges, this church which lives up to its name from its whiteness attracts the eye... and its carillon which shells creole songs charm ears of the visitor!
Due to its beauty, illuminates the village of Cilaos, already well with its magnificent huts and its location in the heart of the mountains. At sunrise, in the day or at sunset, this superb white church is a treat as well outside and inside, where the work of wood is magnificent.
A white simple pretty and fresh church, in the beautiful cirque de Cilaos, see...
