Introducing St-Benoît & Around

Sugar-cane fields, lychee and mango orchards, rice, spices, coffee… Great carpets of deep-green felt seem to have been draped over the lower hills that surround St-Benoît, a major agricultural and fishing centre.

No one can accuse St-Benoît of being overburdened with tourist sights. The area’s best features lie elsewhere; turn your attention from the coast and plant it firmly in the cooler recesses of the hills and valleys to the west. The Rivière des Marsouins valley in particular is a delight, with its plunging waterfalls and luxuriant vegetation. Small wonder that there is excellent white-water rafting here.
