The Grande Chaloupe lazaret is one of a series of quarantine sites built in the 19th century to prevent the spread of epidemics. Owned by the departmental council since 1946, then listed as a historic monument in 1998, it has undergone a series of restoration campaigns and now houses a permanent exhibition on engagism and quarantine. It's a must-see if you want to understand what "engagisme" was all about. In another room on the site, you can take a tour of plant crossbreeding.

S'il y a un lieu qui raconte l'histoire de la quarantaine et de l'engagisme a la Réunion, c'est bien Le Lazaret de la Grande Chaloupe
Fermé le week-end, le Lazaret se visite gratuitement en semaine.
A découvrir les ensembles bâtimentaires ( ancienne infirmerie, longère, dortoir...) ainsi que les expositions quarantaine et engagisme, ainsi la très belle exposition métissage végétal.

La historia es fascinante aunque me gustaría que el museo la contara más detalladamente
