Hell-Bourg is a hamlet-style village and Cirque de Salazie’s main community in the Salazie commune of Reunion, a French overseas department. In the 1800s, the town was called Bemaho and was famous in Europe for its therapeutic ponds. Its intriguing new name was taken from Anne Chretien Louis de Hell, a former governor, and admiral. In 1948, a landslide blocked the spring that served the thermal resort. Its popularity as a spa town and vacation destination of rich vanilla plantation owners declined. Restored traditional creole villas surrounded by breathtaking mountain scenery made this tiny island village one of the awardees of the Le Plus Beaux Villages de France.
