Ici la nature a laissé en héritage une extraordinaire richesse de paysages. Sur 2 500 km2, La Réunion offre la diversité d'un continent. A chaque étage de son relief monumental, l'île change de visage. D'exubérante, elle se fait aride. De tropicale, elle devient alpestre. Elle joue à surprendre pour mieux séduire, à chaque détour de ses côtes ou de ses routes accrochées à la montagne. De plus, sous ces latitudes singulières, l'histoire a mitonné un cocktail exclusif de peuples et de cultures, dont les ingrédients viennent d'Afrique, d'Asie et d'Europe. Un métissage harmonieux à découvrir "intensément". 27 kilomètres de plage et une eau dont la température oscille entre 20° et 26°. Le sable noir de Saint-Paul est aussi accueillant que les lagons de Saint-Gilles. Saint-Paul est une base nautique pour dériveurs. Le port de plaisance de Saint-Gilles est devenu un pôle touristique où se concentrent de nombreuses activités nautiques. Nouvel aménagement des bâtiments d'accueil (capitainerie, clubs, locaux techniques, boutiques, restaurants, aquarium...). Partiellement abritées par des cordons coralliens, Boucan-Canot et les Roches-Noires offrent un sable doré et d'excellents "spots" de surf. Au sud du Port de Saint-Gilles, commence un lagon de 15 km de long. Accessible par de nombreuses allées, on y trouve beaucoup d'équipements annexes : loueurs de planche à voile, pédalos… Les Hauts de l'Ouest sont parcourus par de nombreuses routes, dont la route Hubert-de-Lisle qui relie Bois-de-Nèfles Saint-Paul aux Avirons et traverse la charmante commune de Trois-Bassins primée au concours Villes, Villages et Maisons Fleuries. In the midst of the Indian Ocean, a small French land where there are coconut trees and beaches in La Reunion, the turquoise blue lagoons and the white barrier reef are there waiting for you to fulfil your exotic dreams. Yet, these are only a tiny part of the whole range of different things the island offers travellers looking for unique experiences, encounters, feelings and emotions. Here, Nature has left a heritage rich in extraordinary scenery. Spread over 2500 square km, La Reunion has all the diversity a continent can offer. The island changes her appearance with the relief and from abundance she can suddenly become arid and from tropical to mountainous. The island likes astonishing you to better seduce you at every bend of her seacoast or roads that hang onto the mountain. Also, in these unique latitudes, history has concocted an exclusive cocktail of people and cultures, with ingredients coming from Africa, Asia and Europe. A harmonious mixture you'll discover with your heart. Saint-Pierre is exposed to the sea and the mountain alike. 27 kilometres of beaches, water temperature ranging between 20°C and 26°C. Beaches are found mostly on the leeward coast. Some are more popular than others, but the black sand of Saint-Paul are just as welcoming as the lagoon of Saint-Gilles. Saint-Paul is a nautical station. After two years of infrastructure works, the harbour has doubled its size: its capacity is of 350 berths (formerly 160). Further south, Boucan Canot and Roches Noires are La Reunion’s most beautiful beaches. Partly sheltered by the coral reef, these two beaches offer golden sand and excellent surfing spots. South of Saint-Gilles harbour starts the 15 km lagoon stretch which can be accessed to through numerous paths and where you can hire wind surfing boards, pedal-boats… The western upper reaches have plenty of picturesque roads, including Route Hubert Delisle, linking Bois de Nèfles Saint-Paul to Les Avirons and going through the charming village of Trois Bassins, a prize winner of the "Flowered towns, villages and houses" contest.
