View towards south. The Grand Brûlé extends for eight kilometres along the east coast and lower slopes of La Réunion. It represents the coastward continuation of the caldera Enclos Fouqué, source of numerous lava flows in the past years and decades. Due to the prevailing topography most flows propagate towards the Grand Brûlé, and some of the larger ones have reached the coast.
