Meeting with an enthusiast.The cultivation of vanilla was introduced to Lifou in 1860 by the English pastor Samuel MacFarlane, who had brought back some seedlings from Madagascar on his ship. Today, more than 120 producers and numerous planters supply 100% natural vanilla, which has become Lifou's brown gold. It was the Mu tribal village, in the south of the island, that accepted the first vanilla plants, at the same time as the first missionaries. Passionate about the story of Lifou’s vanilla history, Lues will relate it and will help you discover all the secrets of its cultivation.
