Presentation of the village of Entre-Deux

The Entre-Deux is a busy place in thehistory of Reunion, its massif also takes the name of a rebellious slave, Dimitile. It has long served as a shelter for fugitive chestnuts.

The land was shared between two families at the beginning of the 18th century and coffee cultivation reigned supreme there until the end of the 19th century. Entre-Deux became a commune in 1882 with the election of its first mayor Corneille Hoarau.

Its city center is calm and authentic with its Creole houses, its gardens and enjoys a certain proximity to the coast. Its neighborhoods are just as peaceful:

The ravine of the lemons in the northeast with its church, a school and some accommodation;
Grand-Font exterior to the north-west, a residential area;
The Hauts in the north enveloping the Dimitile and several isolated islets made up of a few houses.
