Coopérative de Vanille Provanille

The East


This working vanilla-processing plant offers an introduction to the process of producing Réunion's famous Vanille Bourbon via a 45-minute guided tour and a film on the history of vanilla cultivation. You'll find various vanilla products at the factory shop. It's worth a visit just for the dreamy smell.
