What to do in Saint-Pierre?

> Fairground market

Saturday morning: you absolutely have to try the artisanal ice creams made the old-fashioned way, the fish at Le Roi Merlin, the samosas and bouchons of course, the juice from a whole fresh coconut, the tea from Ô Thé… Live chickens and ducks too ;)

And if you're looking for a pretty dress, a lava stone jewel, a tropical t-shirt, a hat, you'll find what you're looking for!

 

> Two lagoons

Cemetery Beach and Harbor Beach (the latter is supervised, with shade, toilets, and showers). Alternatively, further afield, Grand Anse, a 10-minute drive away, offers a swimming pool, restaurants, snacks, and walks.

 

> Two Tamil (Indian) temples :

- Narassingua Péroumal, the largest on the island , free visit outside, guided tour inside by the tourist office 02 62 35 34 33 and https://www.reunion.fr/offers/saint-pierre-tourist-office-saint-pierre-fr-559866/

- Shri Maha Badra Karli, next to the previous one, free visit outside and guided tour by the tourist office

 

> Walk and sunset in Terre Sainte (+ small lagoon)

Former fishing district. Guided tour also available from the tourist office (Zistoire Ter Sinte)

 

> Craft stores

> And many other things...
