ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION

Built in 1905, it is the last station of the Way of the Cross that leaves Beauséjour on a steep slope to reach the Chapel 200 meters higher. From here, beautiful view. On the other side, it is the culmination of the journey undertaken from the Baie Mahault district by taking the trail that crosses the mountain plateau. A nearby orientation table informs about the surrounding islands. This chapel also bears the name of chapel Maston of the name of Monsignor Maston bishop of Saint-Claude, Desidien of birth who after the devastating cyclone of 1899, contributed with his own money to the reconstruction of the Church.
