La Plaine-des-Palmistes

La Plaine-des-Palmistes combines a cool, rain-fed upland atmosphere with Réunion’s tropical Indian Ocean setting, reflecting its position on an interior plateau. The commune lies on the wetter eastern side of the island, where cloud and rain support dense vegetation and give the settlement a markedly different feel from the coast. The Bébour-Bélouve forest, part of Réunion National Park, is nearby; its humid woodland belongs to the island’s volcanic highlands. Daily life remains rooted in a French overseas department whose Réunion Creole culture is heard alongside French.
