Nez de Boeuf, Mountain summit in Réunion, France.
Nez de Boeuf reaches an elevation of 2,136 meters on the volcano road to Piton de la Fournaise, overlooking the Remparts River valley.
This peak has served as a significant geographical reference point since the first explorations of Réunion Island's interior during the 18th century.
The name Nez de Boeuf reflects the mountain's profile resembling a bull's nose, following the local tradition of naming geographical features based on their appearance.
A 700-meter path leads visitors, including those with reduced mobility, to an observation deck equipped with picnic tables and shelters.
The site features the longest accessible path for people with reduced mobility in Réunion, measuring 660 meters and including facilities for visually impaired visitors.
