Introducing Ste-Rose & Around
South of St-Benoît, the landscape becomes more open and less populated as the road hugs the coast around Piton de la Fournaise, the volcano which regularly spews lava down its eastern flanks. The small fishing community of Ste-Rose has its harbour at the inlet of La Marine. There’s a monument here to the young English commander Corbett, who was killed in 1809 during a naval battle against the French off the coast.
