History

In April 1977, Piton Sainte-Rose was devastated by a lava flow from the Piton de la Fournaise, the active volcano of the island.[1] The village church was partly invaded by the lava flow but not destroyed.[2] The church was subsequently restored and renamed Notre Dame des Laves (Our Lady of the Lava). It is used for Catholic services.[3]
