Contrary to what its name suggests, this four-hectare botanical park is not entirely dedicated to coffee. Instead, you’ll discover the history of La Réunion through its flora, with a chronologically organized tour from 1715 to the present day.
You’ll discover the great traditional crops (vetyver, cocoa, clove, cane…) as well as exotic species, perfume plants, a bamboo grove and a palm grove in symbiosis with orchid beds. More than 900 plant species are thus grouped together in a small paradise at the service of your five senses.
One hectare is dedicated to coffee. You can discover “Bourbon Pointu”, a locally produced grand cru. Taste great coffees at La Savane bar. Artisanal store.
