Built in the 19th century to supply Nouméa with wood, it is now invaded by lush vegetation. Huge banyan trees cover the buildings with their bewitching roots. In the last quarter of the 19th century, a village was grafted onto the site where the exploitation of the wood lasted until 1911. An association of restoration enthusiasts has rehabilitated the powder magazine built in 1884 and a path has been laid out to fully enjoy the remains. Wet forest and mining scrubland follow one another as you enter the heart of the penitentiary's history.

Site historique bien entretenu
Le site est accessible en voiture et à pieds, la piste de terre rouge est en très bon état. Un panneau explicatif nous explique les lieux qui sont entretenus (pas de végétation envahissante) : ruines de 2 logements, 1 four / magasin, 1 mur de soutènement et la maison du chef.
