Château de Labourdonnais

A stunning house typical of the American colonial style and with a lot of family history. There's almost no reference to the life of the slaves upon whose backs the money was made.....maybe that reflects the fact that the family still live and work here. Either way it's a sad omission in an otherwise impressive place

Incredible historic place giving an idea of how life has been one and a half centuries ago as a landlord on Ile de France. Really well maintained park and lovely restored building! Worth a visit!

The Labourdonnais estate has been home to the Wiehe family for over 150 years. Established in 1856, it underwent extensive renovations in 2006 to preserve its elegant 19th-century colonial architecture. After your visit, take a stroll through the lovely gardens and historic orchard. The estate preserves endemic plants and also boasts over 50 centuries-old mango trees, spices, and many tropical fruit trees. You can also try the estate's own rum or juice at the tasting bar. After your visit, dine at the adjacent restaurant.

A beautiful, magical place for a special occasion. We were very well looked after, the food was very good and the DJ took us back to our roots with an outstanding selection. From the cocktails to the dinner itself, everything was perfect.

A group of us attended a rum tasting session at this amazing chateau. The experience was very personable, and for an additional cost, we also got to try the full range of their more expensive rums which were far nicer. Although we did not eat here, we will return to do this as the food looked good and it is in a lovely setting.

"This destination is worth the visit. The stunning gardens are meticulously maintained, and the historic preservation is impeccable. I spent a leisurely few hours exploring the grounds, taking in the beauty and learning about the rich history. Depending on your pace, you can easily spend anywhere from 1 to 5 hours here, uncovering the secrets and marvels that this place has to offer. The attention to detail and commitment to preserving the past is evident throughout. Whether you're a history buff, a nature lover, or simply looking for a peaceful escape, this place has something for everyone. I appreciated the flexibility to explore at my own pace, taking time to appreciate the intricate details and stories behind each exhibit. Overall, I highly recommend this destination to anyone looking for a unique and enriching experience. The combination of stunning gardens and well-preserved history makes for a truly unforgettable visit. I'll definitely be back to explore more!

Nice colonial house with lots of stories and plan You just can walk in the garden and feel the peace of that place You also can see several animal Unfortunately when I came the second floor was under reconstruction but the ambience is still wonderful

Would recommend to visit! We walked around the property, saw the villa and the animals, enjoyed rum tasting and bought some as gifts. Well organized.
