THE VANILLERAY
Go there and contact
The three-century-old Domaine du Grand-Hazier opens the doors to its two-hectare garden and the beautiful Creole house that sits on the throne. It is representative of the great sugar estates of the end of the 18th century on the East coast. But the main attraction of the estate is indeed its vanilla, which has been awarded the gold medal several times at the Paris Agricultural Show. A guided tour will allow you to know everything about vanilla: from the discovery of its fertilization in the 19th century, to the production of today's excellent frosted vanilla.

Avec évidemment la boutique bien garnie et diversifiée en fin de visite
Visite intéressante, malgré certaines approximations, notamment concernant la vanille de Tahiti (concurrente, mais citée).
Par contre, de l'arrêt Cimetière de Ste. Suzanne, comptez 2 kms à pied.
Visite guidée passionnante, montrant la difficulté d'obtenir de la vanille à partir d'une liane très fragile et d'un process compliqué. A la fin, je vous conseille de goûter leur glace, élaborée à partir de leur vanille bio.
