Its cultural and educational, protect and defend the soul of a landscape of dry country-is consistent with the desire to relax visitors of all ages. "The visit can begin! "The guide places, Marie-France, a beautiful Creole-hosts with a grin visitors. Before embarking on the path of a few hundred meters, it gives a taste of this walk and sensitive initiation. Between the arboretum, medicinal plants, the Creole house and garden, the platform dedicated to renewable energy, the nursery and gift shop, a visit takes place in an hour, punctuated by pauses shaded under the trees or on benches. Before the hubbub of visitors of an earlier generation ready to spice up his comments, Marie-France did not let them tell. No flowers, no trees, no roots appear to have any secrets from her on this journey hospitable in all seasons.
