Step into the enchanting world of Sainte-Suzanne, a picturesque village nestled on the beautiful island of Reunion in the Indian Ocean. This photograph, taken in 1909, captures the main entrance to the village as travelers made their way in, leaving the hustle and bustle of the outside world behind. The French overseas department and its unique blend of European and Creole influences are on full display here, with the ornate wrought-iron gateway leading to the narrow, cobblestone street. The village of Sainte-Suzanne, named after the patron saint of housewives, has a rich history dating back to the 18th century. Its strategic location on the slopes of the Piton de la Fournaise volcano made it an important trading post, attracting settlers from France, Africa, and Madagascar. Today, visitors can explore the village's charming streets, visit its historic sites, and indulge in delicious local cuisine. This photograph is part of The Roseries Collection, held by Mary Evans Picture Library, and offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to a simpler era. The intricate details of the gateway, the lush greenery, and the warm, inviting atmosphere of the village are sure to capture the hearts of all who view it. Whether you're an armchair traveler or planning a trip to this tropical paradise, this image is a must-see for anyone with a love for history, culture, and beautiful landscapes.
