A vast, green territory that once provided refuge for fugitive slaves known as "les marrons", the Tévelave forest in the hills around Les Avirons offers walking fans some very scenic footpaths, like the Tamarinds Path or the Workers' Path. The Papangues observatory, deep in the heart of nature, will delight all those looking to spot the famous Réunion Marsh Harrier, the only nesting raptor native to Réunion...
Surrounded by beautiful plant varieties, the Tévelave forest road is also lined with picnic kiosks, which are perfect for a day out with the family! Those who enjoy lunching outdoors will also have the option to stop at the picnic area in the small village of Tévelave, a very pleasant site which has a snack bar and pétanque pitch.
