Cilaos

Mountain town on the French island of Réunion, Cilaos sits inside a volcanic caldera — known locally as the Cirque de Cilaos — high above sea level in the island's interior. The setting draws visitors for its dramatic highland terrain and photogenic scenery, and the town supports a café and restaurant scene that punches above its size.
