This wonderful half-day excursion is a fabulous opportunity to dip a toe into Reunion's colorful past, as you tour the island's charming capital, St. Denis. After meeting your English-speaking guide at the pier in Pointe des Galets, you will drive along the stunning coast of Reunion towards St. Denis, which is located on the island's northernmost tip. Here, you will enjoy an fascinating drive around the largest town in this French colony, which has been recognized as the economical capital since 1738. You will then head to the State Gardens, which were first established by the French East India Company in 1764, although since then, the gardens have been relocated away from the flooding river. Today, it is the location of the island's Natural History Museum, a historical building since 1961, and the public garden. You will have plenty of time to explore this serene setting. En route to the market, you will be able to view the attractive Creole houses along the Rue de Paris, many of which boast lovely white verandas. Enjoy free time int town before climbing back on to the bus for the enjoyable journey back to the ship. Your tour will also take you past the Christian Cathedral, and includes a brief photo-stop at Barachois sea front, a delightful harbor that boasts a lively cafe culture.
