Maison Folio

Maison Folio, also called Villa Folio, and its garden were taken over by the Folio family. A visit to the House represents a real journey back in time, to the era when the island's large Creole families left the heat of the coast to rest in the coolness of the Hauts in charming little Creole huts with a refined style. The garden symbolizes the “Creole art of living” with its guétali, its fountain and its paths paved with old stone. Walking there takes you on a journey of exotic scents, among perfume, aromatic and medicinal plants: geranium, vetiver, patchouli, turmeric, lemongrass, allspice... One of the outbuildings now houses a small exhibition of everyday objects from the period and local crafts.
Free for children under 10 years old.
