Oùcécap’s take

Of all the island’s communes, Saint-Joseph is the one whose centre lies furthest south. From the north-east, it is easy to find: from Sainte-Suzanne, it is due south (179°), 52 km away, and the same from Saint-André (184°). From La Plaine-des-Palmistes, aim due south again, at 182°, 27 km away. From Saint-Pierre, however, it lies east, at 107°, 15 km away.
