Saint-Louis is the gateway to the south of the island and to the cirque of Cilaos.
The city
Saint-Louis is an opportunity to breathe in the atmosphere of the gentle Creole way of life… Stroll around the church and enter the artisanal stores selling souvenirs, baskets, spices…
Sugar cane is an omnipresent feature of the landscape, and has forged the history and identity of Saint-Louis. The town lives to the rhythm of the island’s largest sugar mill, the Gol factory. The mid-slopes of Rivière Saint-Louis, on the road to Cilaos, are home to fruit farming and woodworking. Here you’ll see some charming Creole huts.
