Introduction

Maison Folio stands near the church in the centre of Hell-Bourg, in the Cirque de Salazie, a classic 19th-century Creole villa listed as a historic monument in 1989. Known for its fine timber work, airy verandas and elegant French-style courtyard, it recalls the prosperous life of Hell-Bourg when it was a spa resort. Now open to the public with guided and self-guided visits, it offers insight into the architecture of Creole residences and local history, and is easy to combine with a stroll through a village counted among the most beautiful in France.
