A lush hillside plantation above Anse Royale growing vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and other spices, with fruit trees, reptiles, and birds to spot—grab a map first and browse the spice shop.
“Located 2km up in the hills above Anse Royale, this lush spice garden owes its existence to Pierre Poivre, the French spice entrepreneur.”
