This road was built under the authority of Mahé de La Bourdonnais in 1732, then paved with basalt stones in 1775, on the initiative of Governor Crémont. But it was in 1810, when the British invaded the island, that it took on the name of chemin des Anglais, as it gave them a strategic position from which to attack Saint-Denis by surprise and take the island from the French, who ceded it back to them in 1814. This path, the oldest on the island, stretches 9 km from La Possession to Grande Chaloupe, overlooking the ocean from the top of the cliff.

Une bien joli rando qui vous mène sur quelques kms sur les traces du grand raid. Nous sommes partis de la gare de la grande chaloupe par un chemin grimpant sur la gauche. Attention s'il pleut, comme le chemin est pavé, c'est très glissant et ça grimpe. En haut, magnifique panorama sur la possession et la future nouvelle route du littoral. Il est possible de continuer, mais nous sommes redescendus par le même chemin, croisant pailles-en-queue, cardinaux et caméléons
