Domaine de Villèle, Historical monument in Saint-Paul, France

The Villèle estate includes a master house, kitchen, storage facilities, and a former slave hospital from the colonial period, surrounded by gardens and terraces.

Built between 1775 and 1778 by Auguste Panon-Desbassayns, this agricultural property evolved from coffee cultivation to sugar cane production with its 1822 mill.

The Villèle Museum displays furniture, decorative art objects, and archives depicting the life of Creole bourgeois families from the 18th and 19th centuries.

Located at 3 Mahatma Gandhi Street in Saint-Paul, the site undergoes renovation to become the Museum of Colonial Housing and Slavery.

This former plantation maintains service and production buildings characteristic of 19th-century Réunion agricultural models, including a chapel.
