Atterro Matouta
About
Atterro Matouta - cap méchant serves Réunion from Saint-Philippe 97442, at the island's southern tip. Visitors rate it 4.8 out of 5 across 235 reviews, a strong record for a site in this part of the island.
Saint-Denis, Saint-Gilles-les-Bains, Saint-Pierre, Cilaos, Saint-Paul, Le Tampon, Sainte-Marie and Saint-Leu all lie within reach, though the southern setting means the drive from the northern resorts takes some time. The site sits in the Saint-Philippe area, where the coast is rugged and the landscape runs down to the water.
The terrain is registered with the FFVL, and the page at https://federation.ffvl.fr/terrain/1283 carries its details. Réunion lies in the cyclone belt, with the season running from November to April, so conditions on the exposed southern coast shift with the weather.
Réunionnais cooking blends Creole, French, Indian and Chinese influences, and curries are served over rice. The island's population descends from African, Indian, European and Chinese settlers, and each December the island marks the abolition of slavery.
