From Saint-Philippe: head towards Saint-Joseph via the N2.

(S/E) Langevin harbour (or marina) is very popular with tourists. It is a must-see on the way to the foot of the Jacqueline Waterfall. Several boats are moored here and there, some of which are still used by fishermen. To the right of the landing stage is the statue of Our Lady of Bon Port. To the right of the statue is a fault where the raging sea crashes down with a roar. You can see an arch at this point. From the harbour, the view stretches as far as Piton Babet and the town of Saint-Joseph. From the harbour, take the path that starts on the left.
Note: Although the sea is spectacular, do not get too close to it when the swell is strong!
(1) At the first crossroads, continue straight ahead. From there, keep to the right at each intersection until you leave the casuarina forest. The path is very wide and popular with joggers. It is flat and hardly ever climbs. Some of the casuarina trees are magnificent. On the right, the path passes more or less close to some dangerous faults when the swell is strong. The path is very wide and bordered by low walls, passing close to some palm trees and Pointe de Langevin. As you leave the casuarina forest, you are treated to a magnificent panorama stretching from Piton du Rond straight ahead to Piton Vincendo on the right.
(2) After leaving the casuarina forest, turn left at the first crossroads. Continue straight ahead at the next two crossroads and you will arrive at a football pitch. Go around it on the left. When you reach the path, turn right and then right again at the next intersection. Continue straight ahead at the next crossroads and re-enter the casuarina forest.
Go back through the first crossroads to return to the car park (S/E).
