Saint-Joseph

Saint-Joseph is best known on Réunion for the Langevin River, whose clear pools and waterfalls run down from the island’s volcanic uplands to the Indian Ocean. Set on the less urbanised south-east coast, the commune includes the black-rock shoreline around Cap Jaune and the bathing cove at Manapany-les-Bains. Inland, Plaine des Grègues is associated with locally grown turmeric, often called safran péi, and hosts the Fête du Safran celebrating this Réunionnais product. Saint-Joseph also provides access to the island’s rugged Sud Sauvage, where lava-shaped terrain, tropical vegetation and ocean weather define the coast.
