This 2,800 hectare nature park derives its name from the luxurious valley, at Cluny south east of the island in the Grand Port district. Isolated chimneys on the property are reminders of early sugar factories.

This one and only government-owned sugar estate has today diversified into agriculture and farming: breeding freshwater prawns, cultivating anthuriums cultivated in greenhouses for export and a mini aquarium housing some eels and tropical fish.

Tip: there is a small entrance fee. Allow two hours for a visit.
