The Enchanted Chimney of L’Ermitage: A Towering Dream upon Réunion Island

A time long ago, upon the lush hillsides of Réunion Island, a mighty and steadfast chimney named L’Ermitage stood tall. In the heart of La Ravine des Deux Sabots, this enchanted figure found its unyielding stance, cradled by the breath of the Ocean Indien. Guardianship passed to M. Bruniquel and the Villèle family, who shared care and compassion for this mystical beacon. As time continued its perpetual stroll, the factory was bequeathed among various industrious hands yet remained ever vigilant under the tender protection of M.

Bruniquel and the Villèle family. The factory eventually ceased its operation, but in the year 2002, L’Ermitage chimney was extended the shelter of the monuments historiques, infusing it with renewed vigor. Today, L’Ermitage still stands proud, an enduring monument to the industrious and resilient spirit of Réunion Island, and the persistent, dreamy allure of its surroundings.
