The tour starts at the bottom of the city and Barachois. Evocative street names (rue du Pavillon de Mast, Moulin-à-wind, battery) recall that we tried to make Saint-Denis a port from the time of Labourdonnais. Today, Barachois is a large square flanked by a few shady original facades India Company and the Prefecture, former governor's lodge.
Once protected by walls and cannons, it has become a peaceful colonial palace and one of the most beautiful prefectures of France.
In the prefecture, we ascend the Rue de la Victoire, lined with old buildings, old warehouses of the East India Company, to the Garden State (former King's Garden) by a street marked by the first architect of the city in the early eighteenth century.
Nobody can claim to know St. Denis without having ventured into a small Chinese restaurant in the center to devour a plate of "mine" or fried rice. There is also, of course, chic restaurants, bars and trendy nightclubs super-trendy, as in all major cities.
Saint-Denis, the capital of Reunion, is surrounded by mountains on three sides. It takes at least one and why not climb the mountain road that crosses a high tongue of lava plunging into the sea
This ancient road built in the middle of last century has been the only link between Saint-Denis and the rest of the island until 1963, when to which the coastal road was completed. This road link is very important to the island because it links the seaport to the capital.
