If you're passionate about heritage, gardens and architecture, the Creole house tour is for you!

We will stroll through the village's narrow streets and lanes to admire the Creole houses, whether modestly or richly decorated. Hell-Bourg is an ideal setting for discussing the history of the former spa town and the settlement of the Hauts de l'Île.

Fun and suitable for everyone, the walk will allow you to experience and understand current and past ways of life. The exceptional vantage points over the cirque will allow us to explore local stories and legends, such as those of the bandit Zitte or Héva & Anchaing.

You will understand why the Pitons, cirques and ramparts have been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We will recall the dark days of marronage and the difficult survival of runaway slaves, who had to search for supplies while being hunted by slave-hunting expeditions. This harrowing subject is still the focus of archaeological and academic research.
