The only high altitude lake of volcanic origin in Reunion Island, the tour of Grand-Étang is a very nice family walk, with multiple ferns and the majestic waterfalls of Bras d'Annette. To get there, follow the RN3 towards Saint-Pierre for 10 kilometres, and, near the Payet bridge, branch off on the road to Grand-Étang. You will reach the lake in half an hour's walk. You can then go around on foot or on horseback (there is a very good horse farm nearby) in about 1 hour. It is beautiful, quiet and green. A call to meditation.

Très bel endroit sur les hauteurs de Saint Benoît, le panorama est magnifique et change vraiment en fonction des saisons et le pluviométrie. Il est possible de faire le tour de l'étang (env 1H30). Attention en période de pluies, le sentier passant par la gauche de l'étang n'est pas praticable. Prévoir 3h00 aller retour pour admirer les cascades de Bras d'Annette au fond de la dépression. Super site pour la cueillette des Goyaviers en avril/mai.

C’est agréable et dépaysant. Petit parking, et des carbets pour pique-niquer. A condition d’emporter à manger !
