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

The colonial estate includes a former main residence of 640 square meters constructed with precious wood and high ceilings.

In 1847, the estate employed 244 enslaved people for sugar cane production until the abolition of slavery in 1848.

The site derives its name from a large natural cavity in the Premier Bras ravine, which resembles a cauldron in shape.

The estate is located at geographical coordinates 20°53'22.0"S latitude and 55°29'38.5"E longitude in the French department of Réunion.

The main Maureau house, dating from the 1840s and classified as a historical monument since 1981, was destroyed by fire in January 2024.
