Loterie Farm can be found nestled in a beautiful tropical forest at the foot of Pic Paradis, the highest point on the island. Built in 1773, it is a former sugar plantation which closed down in 1855. Nowadays it is a real gem of biodiversity and refreshing greenery, and home to a number of protected species of plants and animals. In the heart of a hidden forest, beyond the Rambaud district, the casual chic atmosphere of Loterie Farm makes it a great place for outdoor activities.
