Bon Nouvel is an agrotourism project launched by former commerce minister Ms. Emma Hippolyte. The project currently consists of four nature trails. On various days one can experience wildlife: namely bees, endemic birds such as the St. Lucian Warbler, The Oriole and the St. Lucian Black Finch as well as ducks, goats, the St. Lucian Whiptail lizard and a myriad of other experiences such as flower production, copra production including a copra Malay oven, a herb garden, Carib hut, flora especially anthurium lilies, the process of making coconut oil and cocoa sticks as well as enjoying a lovely hike with majestic views of Gros Piton at different angles and other photo opportunities.

The estate has a rich history. It was owned by the Glace Family for over 100 years. One of the original owners, Hubert Ravineau, who owned the estate from 1830, is the reason the area is currently called Ravineau. The estate is 56.6 acres currently and it is one of the last working estates in Choiseul. We produce, in various quantities, cocoa, honey, coconut oil, copra, mangoes, breadfruit, avocado, yam, and a myriad of fruits and vegetables. Our mainstay is our flowers: hybrid anthuriums, local Caribbean Pink Anthuriums, Ginger Lilies, Heliconia and birds of paradise.

Each tour comes with a complimentary bottle of water and a walking stick. As visitors go along the trail they will be offered fruits that are in season.

The overall duration of the tour ranges between 90 to 120 minutes.

At different seasons visitors will also be able to witness and or participate the making of cocoa sticks, harvesting of fruits, planting of herbs and flowers, the weaving of baskets, and straw weaving, preparation of local dishes such as farine, and other local activities.
