Le Bassin des Hirondelles
No particular difficulty is encountered when strolling at “Le Bassin des Hirondelles.” 180 meters ascent, it’s a quiet path upon which wide wooden stairs follow one after the other. It is acknowledged that it rains quite often at the Plaine des Palmistes. As a result, the paths become quite muddy. Nevertheless, it doesn’t matter as it is worth a tour. And it’s only mud! Don’t forget to bring your swimsuit.
