Joffreville, aux pieds de la montagne d’Ambre

A une trentaine de kilomètres seulement de Diégo-Suarez, ce petit village à l’accent colonial bénéficie d’un climat relativement frais, propice pour l’exploration de la montagne d’Ambre.

Joffreville, une atmosphère vivifiante

Séduit par son climat frais en raison de son altitude de 800 mètres et de sa proximité, le maréchal Joffre, alors commandant militaire de la région de Diégo-Suarez, fonda le village de Joffreville dans un site particulièrement verdoyant au pied de la Montagne d’Ambre, au tout début du XXeme siècle. Aujourd’hui relativement conservé, le village est une destination agréable, surtout pendant les poussées de chaleur des saisons estivales.

On peut également y recenser au moins 75 espèces d’oiseaux, dont 35 endémiques comme le Pygargue qui a une envergure de 2 mètres.
