Chemin Crémont, Historical path between La Possession and Saint-Denis, Réunion.

Chemin Crémont is a historic walking route linking La Possession and Saint-Denis on Réunion island. The path follows the northwestern coast while traversing significant elevation changes through the landscape.

The route was traced in 1730 by a convention signed on 16 June 1730 between governor Pierre-Benoît Dumas, Pierre Boisson and Abraham Muron; the latter two delivered the path in 1735 with the help of 60 slaves. Honoré de Crémont, ordonnateur of Réunion, ordered its refurbishment in 1775. In July 1810 British troops landed at La Grande Chaloupe and took the path to attack Saint-Denis from behind, giving it the name chemin des Anglais. It was inscribed as a monument historique on 14 March 2014.

The path takes its name from Honoré de Crémont, ordonnateur of Réunion in the second half of the 18th century, who ordered its refurbishment in 1775. Its second name, chemin des Anglais, recalls the British landing at La Grande Chaloupe in July 1810 during the Napoleonic Wars: expected before Saint-Denis, they took the path to attack the city from behind.

The hike takes roughly two and a half hours and involves notable climbs and descents throughout. Sturdy footwear and water are essential, especially since the route crosses ravines and exposed sections.

The path's second name, chemin des Anglais, comes from July 1810, when British troops expected before Saint-Denis landed at La Grande Chaloupe and took the town from behind along this route. The basalt paving dates from 1775, when Honoré de Crémont ordered the path repaired.
