The second stage of the walk runs closest to the railway line; it begins in the multicultural town of Saint-Louis and takes you past two branch lines of the railway. It then winds through the Étang-Salé forest, following the main railway line as closely as possible, before arriving at the peaceful seaside village of Étang-Salé les Bains. Of course, you’ll come across a few remnants of the railway line.

Departure from L'Étang-Salé (Réunion)
The third stage of the route runs closest to the railway line. It starts in the charming seaside village of Étang-Salé les Bains and ends in another seaside town: Saint-Leu. The terrain is flat throughout, but a few off-trail sections are tricky. There are numerous remains of the railway line on this stage, far more than on the previous one. This stage runs constantly along the coast and also offers some beautiful views of the ocean and the hills.

Departure from Saint-Leu (La Réunion) (Réunion)
The town of Saint-Leu is bordered to the north by the Petite Ravine and to the south by the Ravine des Avirons. The main aim of the walk is to follow, where possible, the route taken by the TiTrain from the time of its inauguration on 12 February 1882. We will cross six bridges and viaducts, the old railway station and two railway halts.
