Domaine du Chaudron, Historical monument and colonial plantation in Saint-Denis, France.

Domaine du Chaudron is a former plantation estate in Saint-Denis, Reunion, with a main residence that featured spacious rooms and precious wooden details. The house had high ceilings and substantial floor space reflecting the wealth of its past inhabitants.

The estate developed as a sugar cane plantation and gained historical monument status in 1981, recognizing its cultural importance. It stands as evidence of the region's colonial past, which was deeply connected to sugar production.

The name comes from a large natural cavity in the Premier Bras ravine that resembles a cauldron. This geological feature remains visible in the landscape around the property.

The property is located on the French island of Reunion in the Indian Ocean and is best explored on foot. Visitors should prepare for local weather and terrain, bringing appropriate clothing and sturdy footwear.

The estate's name comes from a large cavity in the Premier Bras ravine shaped like a cauldron, not from the house. The property is also called propriété Maureau, after its last owners. The main house was destroyed by fire on 24 January 2024, though it had been classified a monument historique since 22 November 1981.
