Edmond was a slave belonging to Pierre Ferr\u00e9ol Edme Bellier de Beaumont, who initiated him into horticulture and botany. In 1841, at the age of 12, Edmond discovered the process of artificially pollinating the vanilla flower, thus contributing to the development of an economic activity that was to be behind the renown of the island, in the same way as coffee.<\/p>\n

We have very few documents about his life. Most of our information about him comes from the correspondence of M\u00e9zi\u00e8res-Lepervanche and F\u00e9r\u00e9ol Bellier, as well as documents from the archives.<\/p>\n

The exhibition can be visited in the gardens of the Vill\u00e8le museum as from 19th December 2022 and accessed online, in its English, Portuguese and Reunion Creole translations.<\/p>\n
