It is Joseph Souville, former(ancient) Governor of Bourbon who gave his name to this municipality of the South of the Island. The botanist Joseph Hubert wanted to cultivate spices to install(settle) the "whites" who had no earth(ground), fruitless experience(experiment).
This municipality widely developed, not around spices, but around the stick, around the vétiver and by chance around the tea and around the tobacco. Pleasant city of the wild south, surroundings offer a guaranteed disorientation.
Multiple excursions and drives(rides) are possible from Saint-Joseph, of Big Pebble and the River Langevin.
