      Major industrial centres and mass tourism, the small village of Bel-Ombre owes its existence to the cane sugar. In the second half of the eighteenth century, Simon Remirac and Claude de La Roche du Ronzet launched the sugar culture on a concession of 2,200 acres.

      A first factory was built in 1802. The botanist Charles Telfair, who took over the property in 1816, impulse development, introducing modern means of culture and transformation of the cane. After having changed hands several times (Bel-Ombre Sugar Estate: 1833, Compagnie Sucrière de Bel-Ombre: 1810), the sugar factory was finally bought in 1997 by the group Espitalier.
