Saint-Leu

Saint-Leu lies along Réunion’s western Indian Ocean coast, where a coral reef and lagoon meet the dry, sunlit slopes rising inland. The town is part of the island’s leeward coast, a markedly drier setting than the rainier eastern side of this French overseas department. Kélonia, Réunion’s sea-turtle observatory, is based here and focuses on turtle research, care and public education. Above the coast, the Conservatoire Botanique National de Mascarin maintains collections devoted to the flora of the Mascarenes.
