Plaine Caverne (south-west), a former quarry that is no longer in use but bears witness to Rodrigues' distant volcanic past

Although closed long ago, the coral quarry is both an ancient source of exploitation and a curiosity that bears witness to Rodrigues' distant volcanic past. Situated between the airport and Petit Butte, this curious, wild peninsula facing the south-western lagoon is in fact an ancient underwater plate that emerged from the water under the pressure of powerful tectonic tremors: a huge piece of coral, in short, that Rodriguans have used to make bricks and, more recently, decorative objects.
