Entre-Deux is also the perfect place to discover Réunion’s rich Creole cultural heritage. Stroll through the picturesque village streets and admire the traditional Creole huts with their colourful facades. Don’t miss a visit to the Maison du Patrimoine, which recounts the history of the commune through exhibitions and personal accounts. Take the opportunity to sample the delights of Creole cuisine in one of the region’s typical restaurants. Our partner Johnny Mignon is offering a VIP tour of the Creole gardens.
Nature lovers will be delighted by the diversity of landscapes on offer in Entre-Deux.

For a well-deserved lunch break, head to one of Entre-Deux’s picturesque restaurants to sample the delights of Creole cuisine. Sample local specialities such as chicken carry, rougail saucisse or samoussas, accompanied by a glass of artisanal rum.
