Why is Saut-d'Eau called a " happiness city"?
In 1948, that is to say on July 16, a sexagenarian named Fortuné, left Trianon (locality of Mirebalais) on the trail of his lost horse with palms (small forest of palm trees and wild flowers) would have seen an apparition which according to him was not other than the Virgin Mary, because the image presented a lady who under a starry crown of which one could read '' Virgo monte carmelo ora pro nobis '' , carried in her arms a child. From then on the town was associated with miracles and well-being, because the virgin had brought healing to the sick struck by smallpox .
It hasn't stopped, every year from July 10 to 18, the city of happiness receives thousands of people from all over the country, from the Dominican Republic and also from the diaspora in order to celebrate the patroness of the town: Our Lady of Mount Carmel and implore her bounties.

Economy & Culture
Saut-d'Eau has a rich and diversified vegetation cover, especially since the water flows in abundance. The local economy is based mainly on the cultivation of cotton, citrus fruits and corn.
The Saudelais (inhabitants of Saut-d'Eau) demand respect for plants, especially those that shelter the gods and protect the springs.
So if one day you go to Saut-d'Eau, avoid touching the plants, because according to many, there was an irreducible Gaul who died because he had forced some of his followers to cut down a sacred tree.
