          The Rotours Canal

​

         Dug at the beginning of the 19th century  century (1826-1830),

    the Canal des Rotours, in the town of Morne-à-l'Eau

           mobilized the energy of several hundred

                 of slaves and free men.

​

          Originating at the landing stage,

         it ends at Pointe à feuille 5 km further.

     From an essential economic role, it is with its openness

                that the commune organized itself.

​

      Along the banks, the mangrove with its mangroves

     and meadows that accompany up to  the mouth,

             open to the large cul de sac marin.

​

​

           Chapel Beach

​

         Magnificent tongue of protected blond sand

      by the coral reef,  it is suitable for swimming

          and a few moments of rest in the shade

          coconut palms and grapes by the sea.  

It owes its name to the old chapel which was once established there

​

​

        The tip of the Grande Vigie

​

     Pointe de la Grande Vigie is the northernmost point

                     of Grande-Terre.

​

        Its limestone cliffs reach 80 meters in height

         and recall those of Normandy or Brittany.
