We have ticked all the regular spots and than quickly changed our plans due to harsh weather (5 degrees, windy and rainy) conditions (considering that other days we were enjoying the sun and 30 degrees in the beaches). Luckily Renaud was well equipped with the spare raincoats and other wet and cold weather gear, as well as has chosen the alternative route with still stunning scenery and avoiding most of the bad weather.

Un incontournable à la Réunion mais qui demande tout de même un certain effort. Heureusement les guides sont passionnants, compétents, à l’écoute et nous avons passé un excellent moment.
