Beauclos

It is the highest altitude municipal section of the Roche-à-Bateau region. Konbit culture is very present in this section. The inhabitants are proud to have the best rara in the town if not on the south coast. It is a matter of generations.
This corner has peaks comparable to that of Macaya but less deforested. Despite the moderate temperature, the proximity to the Mulet River makes it easy to cultivate rice.
