| Description |
Au milieu du cirque de Cilaos trône la station thermale de Cilaos, connue pour ses broderies, son vin, ses lentilles, son eau pétillante... Dominé par le Piton des Neiges (3 071 mètres d’altitude), Cilaos est le plus ensoleillé et le plus sec des trois cirques. Dérivé de "Tsilaosa", mot malgache signifiant "lieu que l’on ne quitte pas", Cilaos fut, comme les autres cirques de l’île, le refuge de prédilection des "Noirs marrons", esclaves en fuite. Après l’abolition de l’esclavage, les "petits blancs" désargentés s’exilèrent dans les "hauts", notamment à Cilaos, et vécurent en parfaite harmonie avec les anciens esclaves. Jusqu’à la construction de la route achevée en 1932, on s’y rendait à pied ou en "chaise à porteur" par un sentier très étroit… L’unique chemin qui mène au coeur du cirque est à lui seul un spectacle à part entière, "la route aux 400 virages" serpente au pied de parois. In the centre of the Cilaos cirque lies the town of the same name, a thermal spa perched at the end of a road with 500 bends: Cilaos, known for its embroidery, wine, lentils and sparkling natural water... Dominated by the Piton de Neiges volcano (3,071 metres high), Cilaos is the sunniest and driest of the three cirques. Its name derives from Tsilaosa, a Madagascan word meaning “the place you do not leave”. Cilaos was, like the island’s other cirques, a hiding place for runaway slaves known as the “Noirs marrons”. After the abolition of slavery, the white communities found themselves penniless and took refuge in the cirques, especially Cilaos, where they lived in perfect harmony with the former slaves |
