For Real!

At the time of the quarantine, it was customary for the children of the village to go and greet the immigrants when they left the island. This tradition still lives on today.

To give you an overview of our family adventure, here is a summary of our two favorites: the Parc du Massif du Sud and Berthier-sur-Mer.
