Oùcécap’s take

No commune on the island has its centre further west than Saint-Paul, on the leeward coast. From Saint-Benoît, on the other side of the island, aim due west, at 274°, 46 km away: the line runs through Salazie, and from there the bearing is the same. From Saint-Pierre, it is north-west, at 330°, 42 km away. And from Le Port, its neighbour, turn south, to 197°, 8.4 km away.
