All of them illustrate the early years of Marie Joseph Rose Tascher de la Pagerie in Trois-Ilets, his hometown. The ruins of the sugar factory are inscribed in their entirety as historical monuments. In 2013, the Domaine celebrated the bicentenary of Joséphine de Beauharnais. The site has been owned by the Community since 1984.
