Damoiseau Distillery

Grande-Terre


For those who don’t speak French but know how distilleries work, this is a nice chance to wander around at will. It's particularly active during the cane harvest (February to June). The gift shop has a good selection of rums made on the premises and offers free tastings. It's well signposted about 3km west of Le Moule.
