The Anse des Cascades in Sainte-Rose is a veritable jewel case of greenery. This beautiful cove is home to a typical fishing port and numerous small waterfalls. But where does all this fresh water come from, and where does it end up in the Indian Ocean? Because when you take the road above, there's no river! Here's another mystery about our volcano: the water seeps down from the summit and trickles underground through the layers of impermeable rock... all the way to Anse des Cascades. That's why the water comes out of the cliff, in the middle, not on top. At l'Anse des Cascades, you'll be able to discover: the palm forest on its grassy carpet, the kiosks set up for family picnics, the waterfalls that land in a small stream that meanders down to the sea, the canoes that come to rest on the jetty and the magnificent bay that opens out onto the ocean. There's also a snack bar and the Restaurant de l'Anse des Cascades.
