No, not a plantation I beleive, but many "Planteur's Houses" in the village... If you look at the architectures of the old creole houses in main street, they are all two stories and all have the plantation look, this is why... most of them were owned (and some are still owned by the same families..) by rich planteurs...

Kind Regards,
Philippe
