This sugar cane press has existed since 1901. It works with the force of water and steam to produce a brandy, the result of the distillation of cane juice, through an alembic still. To see it in action, you will have to come at Easter time, as the activity is seasonal. For 6 weeks between April and May, about 50 seasonal workers heat the machines 24 hours a day. After a tasting stop, the basket can be filled with various products made from the venerated sugar cane.

Dégustation pour achat
Rhum blanc agricole de haute qualité (équivalent aux meilleurs rhums Antillais) rhumerie typique - quel dommage d’être mal reçu (impression de gêner) et d’avoir à payer 0,60 cts le cl pour choisir son achat

Petite exposition (gratuite) très bien faite pour expliquer la culture de la canne à sucre et les différentes étapes de production. Ã la fin on peut déguster des alcools, ou du jus de canne pour quelques centimes . Une video de 10 minutes Dans l espace bar est à ne pas louper.

Une visite à faire si on veut comprendre comment est fabriqué le rhum local, l'Aguardente. En fonction des saisons de récolte, on peut voir toute la fabrication. On peut même déguster ! La guide est très sympa !
