6 things to do in Saint Denis
The city has museums and parks, and overflows with Creole architecture. But it also boasts the famous wildlife and volcanic landscapes of Reunion. Here are 6 things to do in Saint Denis!1- Visit the Cathedral
The city's cathedral was built over several decades in the middle of the 19th century. It replaced a church that had been in the same place for about a century. What you will encounter is a classic, demure and well-formed building, with nothing that will leave you breathless, although there are some features that may attract your interest. In the nave the pulpit is a remnant of the previous cathedral and is carved in Indian teak, while the altar is made of marble shipped from the Camargue to the south of France.
2- Stroll along Rue du Maréchal-Leclerc
From east to west, this street is the shopping center of Saint-Denis and intersects with Rue de Paris. But, like its neighbor, it can tell you a lot about the island: you have the mosque, the Tamil Shri Kali Kovil Kampal Kampal Temple and a Chinese Pagoda on the parallel rue Sainte-Anne.
3- Admire the landscape in Parc du Colorado
There is no need to stray too far from the city to get an idea of the natural splendor of the Reunion. With its paths and stables, the Parc du Colorado is the springboard for many excursions on foot or horseback. The park is located on a hill near the city and on clear days offers a breathtaking view of Saint-Denis.
4- Take an air tour of the island
Reunion is a small island, but the volcanic topography makes it an extraordinary landscape. So in these circumstances an air tour is the best way to see the best of Reunion. At Roland Garros airport, right next to Saint-Denis, you will find companies offering tailor-made flights to observe the natural wonders of the island, including the Snape de la Fournaise, one of the most active volcanoes in the world.5- Watch whales and dolphins
6- Looking at the ocean at Le Barachois
The northernmost district of Saint-Denis is also the part that was the first to be settled. Although the name refers to the entire neighborhood that is located on this promontory, most people use it to talk about the beautiful esplanade that runs along the oceanfront. From here you can peek west to the rocky neighborhood of La Montagne or look out over the ocean.Compare now the offers of flights to Saint Denis with our search engine!
