The first one, L'Etoile is situated to the East of the island and nested in the heart of the Valley. Walkway in the park of l'Etoile offers magnificent view points on the highlands to the East and South of the island. L'Etoile offers hiking or cycling, archery, motorised circuits by Quad or 4x4, with a restaurant and reception for visitors. The restaurant built in a forest thatch atmosphere proposes a typical Mauritian cuisine.
Further South, La Vallée de Ferney is an ecotourism site completely dedicated to the natural resources of one of the remaining Mauritian endemic forests. The Ferney Valley forest is known to shelter a variety of endemic and native species of Mauritius among which some are in extreme danger of extinction, like the Mauritius kestrel, one of the world's rarest birds, and a number of critically endangered trees including two Pandanus species believed extinct until their recent rediscovery. To ensure the protection of this natural heritage, the CIEL Group has decided in 2006 to define a conservation zone of more than 200 hectares in which an ambitious conservation program will be carried out to protect the endemic and native plants, and also facilitate regrowth by gradually eliminating intrusive exotic plants.
