Entre-Deux brings together traditional crafts and a wealth of inherited skills, historic houses, and the route from the village to Dimitile. Cultural details of the area sit alongside an excursion option with a viewpoint.

Crafts and Historic Houses

Along family trails, visitors can discover numerous craftspeople who work with choca, coconut, or coffee. Coffee is also the emblem of the area. It therefore has a special role: it is one of the materials mentioned and also a local symbol, while choca and coconut are other craft materials.

The Maison Valy is one of four other houses with verandas under the roof, built toward the end of the 19th century or at the beginning of the 20th century. It is listed in the supplementary inventory of historic monuments. Its architectural form, period of construction, and historic classification offer concrete points of interest for exploring the architectural heritage.

On the way from the tourist office, a century-old shingle-roofed case house stands on Rue Julius Hoarau. It complements the Maison Valy with a different architectural form: the case house stands out for its shingle construction, while the Maison Valy is notable for its verandas under the roof. This offers an opportunity to look at two distinct architectural details.

From the Village to Dimitile

The easiest route between the village of Entre-Deux and the summit of Dimitile is a track along an old historic path once used by oxen. At the summit, there is a viewpoint over the Cirque de Cilaos. The excursion thus follows a historic route to a clear destination; check local conditions before setting out.

The Bras de la Plaine ravine is also nearby and can be reached from the village. It offers another excursion option alongside the route to Dimitile.

When choosing what to focus on, you can distinguish between local culture and excursion destinations: crafts and historic houses draw attention to materials and architectural forms; the route to Dimitile leads from the village to a viewpoint, and the Bras de la Plaine ravine can also be reached from the village.

Accommodation and Information

The Entre-Deux tourist office provides information and bookings for tourist services on Réunion. These include hiking huts, gîtes and guest rooms from Gîtes de France, seasonal accommodation from Clévacances, Creole hotels, and outdoor activities. The service thus covers different types of accommodation as well as activities. Since Clévacances accommodation is seasonal, it is advisable to ask the tourist office about availability for your intended travel dates. This lets you take this seasonal option into account when coordinating your travel dates and accommodation.
