Propriété Camalon, Historic monument house in Saint-André, La Réunion.
This private property preserves the remains of an ancient agricultural estate and a 19th-century aloe processing factory, featuring a large water reservoir, retting basins, and storage warehouses for raw materials and finished products.
The site reflects an industrial activity linked to rope manufacturing for maritime navigation during the 19th century, with the main house rebuilt after a previous structure was destroyed by a cyclone.
The property demonstrates traditional Reunionese expertise in aloe processing, a plant essential for maritime rope production, illustrating the social and economic organization of a historical local industrial sector.
Located at 160 rue du Champ-Borne, this private property requires access authorization and is currently in poor condition, needing restoration work to preserve its archaeological remains and historical structures.
Archaeological layers discovered on the site reveal multiple occupation phases, confirming its continuous historical importance in the Saint-André region and its resilience against recurring cyclonic natural disasters.
