Oùcécap’s take

Due east of Saint-Paul, at 94° and 46 km away, on the other side of the island: that is where to look for Saint-Benoît. From Salazie, the bearing is the same, 18 km away. Along the windward coast, Saint-André, Bras-Panon, Saint-Benoît and Sainte-Rose form a straight line: from Saint-André, aim south-east, at 141°, 11 km away, and your line runs through Bras-Panon.
