Nestled within a coconut grove and tropical garden, in the heart of the Domaine de la Pointe des Châteaux, stands the Maison du Coco, a farm with more than 7 ha of land. There, you will discover all the secrets of the tree of life through our interactive coconut workshop. Our coconut workshop is made up of three parts:

• Origins and uses of coconut in Réunion Island
• Cooking with coconut
• Weaving of coconut leaves

Our coconut workshop is for children as well as adults and lasts 2 hours.

Visit our coconut grove located in the heart of a magnificent tropical garden and discover all the secrets of the coconut tree (its origin, its culture, etc.) and the many uses of its fruit, the coconut:

• Culinary use (water, nuts, virgin oil, milk, sugar, etc.)       
• Medicinal use (recipe of yesteryear)
• Cosmetic use (soap, massage oil)
• Industrial use (brushes, rope, charcoal, etc.)
• Artisanal use (shell handicrafts, palm weaving, etc.)

Pick your coconut, learn to clean it and break it to extract its meat and collect its water.

Grate your nut sitting on traditional stools and, there you have it, you are ready for the culinary workshop. 

Make your coconut sweets or coconut macaroons and enjoy our traditional coconut punch!

Pick your coconut leaflet and learn the basics of this age-old tradition.
