Oùcécap’s take

Anywhere in the west of the island, you aim at Sainte-Rose due east: 93° from Les Trois-Bassins and 85° from Saint-Leu, 52 and 53 km away, and 89° from Cilaos. Its centre is, in fact, the easternmost of all the island’s communes. On the windward coast, Saint-André, Bras-Panon and Saint-Benoît all aim at it on the same south-east bearing, 140° or 141°; from Saint-Benoît, it is only 13 km away.
