Musée Camp marron
About
On Réunion, Musée Camp marron occupies a site in Entre-Deux 97414, Reunión, a village set inland on the island's southern side. The name points to the maroon camps where escaped slaves once took refuge in the island's highlands, and that history shapes what the museum holds. It sits within the commune of Entre-Deux rather than on the coast, so reaching it means heading into the hills.
The museum is known for interpreting that maroon heritage, the story of people who fled the plantations and built hidden settlements in the mountains. First-time visitors should expect a small, focused display rather than a large modern complex, with the emphasis on local history and the landscape that sheltered those communities. A rating of 4.3 out of 5, drawn from 6 reviews, reflects a modest but positive response from those who have made the trip. The surrounding area around Entre-Deux is rural and quiet, well away from the busy coastal resorts.
The website https://www.sudreuniontourisme.fr/tresors-du-sud/le-dimitile.html carries further background for anyone planning a visit. Opening hours are not part of the listing, so timing a trip is best done around the rest of a day in the southern highlands.
French is the official language, and Réunion Creole is spoken widely in daily life, so a few words of either help in the village. The cooler dry season from May to November suits walking in the highlands, while December to April brings wetter summer weather. Entre-Deux lies within reach of Saint-Pierre and Le Tampon, both useful bases for exploring the south of the island.
