The "Maison Folio", also called Villa Folio, and its garden were taken over and restored by the Folio family.
The visit to this house represented a real journey when the island's big Creole families left the coast's warmth to rest in the coolness of the Hauts in charming little Creole boxes with refined style.
The garden symbolizes « the Creole art of living » with its guétali, fountain, and paved paths of old stone. Strolling there takes you on a journey of exotic scents, among perfumed, aromatic, and medicinal plants: geranium, vetiver, patchouli, turmeric, lemongrass, four-spice…
One of the outbuildings now houses a small exhibition of traditional period objects and local crafts.
