Touring Program

After booking, each visitor is welcomed at the “Tafia & Galabé” shop. Groups of 15 people maximum are defined before entering the nave and each group will have a qualified guide to visit the plant.
Your guided touring journey begin with a 13-minutes film presenting the history of the plant, the stakes of sugar cane at a local level and inviting you to discover the 4 companies composing the production plant of Bois Rouge:

  • the Bois Rouge Sugar Refinery and the magic manufacturing of sugars;
  • Distillerie de Savanna and the very true mysteries of the rum confection;
  • Eurocanne which markets sugars and exports sugars to metropolitan France;
  • The Centrale thermique de Bois Rouge (the Bois Rouge Power station) which produces electricity.
During 45 minutes, your touring journey brings you right in the core craft of the Sugar Refinery and the Rum Manufacture: a fascinating tour inside an industrial universe all the more impressive thanks to huge dimensions than thanks to its production processes. Thereafter, the sugar production will have no more secret for you. You will be initiated to the astonishing quest of flavours & tastes which leads to the creation of the all range of products manufactured by the integral plant.
The tour ends in the shop with a guided tasting of a selection of rums.
