The East
Why go
Bras-Panon is Réunion's Bourbon vanilla capital. The Maison de la Vanille is a cooperative that brings together local growers and welcomes visitors to discover how vanilla is grown, how it is pollinated by hand with the tip of a bamboo sliver (a technique introduced by Edmond Albius in 1841), and the stages of curing and preparing this spice.
