Deuxième gare ferroviaire de St-Paul walks

The west of Réunion is very popular for its white sandy beaches stretching for miles! Starting from Saint-Paul, you’ll come across plenty of sights. Some beaches are particularly beautiful when they’re not crowded. Of course, you can take your time visiting the coastal towns along the way or taking a dip in the water. There are plenty of places to stop for refreshments all along the route! But we strongly recommend bringing a hat!

Eighth stage of the island tour, following the railway line as closely as possible. After the long flat stretch of the previous stages, this short stage sees a return to uphill terrain. As access to the tunnel is officially prohibited, you must go via the Chemin des Anglais, which includes sections with steep gradients. This is a very old paved path that is now a must-do hike on the island.

The passage near the Ravine Grand Mère caldera is breathtaking.

The famous Scout Trail, where the ridge sections offer impressive views of the Mafate cirque.

Second day of the hike in the Cirque de Mafate.

The final stage of the Mafate circular loop.

First stage in the Cirque de Mafate.

Stage 3 of the 6-day route in the Cirque de Mafate. On this stage, we’ll make our way from Marla to Roche Plate via the superb site of the 3 Roches. It is here that the Galets River disappears into an impressive crevasse. The Roche Plate site is situated directly below the Maïdo viewpoint.
