If you're thinking about what to do in Saint-Denis, your first stop should be Barachois, the vibrant waterfront neighborhoods whose canons reminds us of the island's military past. From the promenade, you can delve into the heart of Victoria Street where the headquarters of the East India Company are located, then off to Paris Street, the main artery of the city, where you'll find one of the most important things to see in Saint-Denis: its beautiful Creole houses and colonial buildings. Do not miss the Villa Deramond-Barre and Maison Carrère. The street leads into the garden of l'État, where you will also find the Museum of Natural History, one of the top attractions in Saint-Denis. Another must is the cathedral of Saint-Denis, perhaps the most emblematic building of the city. Around the cathedral, you'll find some of the best things to do in Saint-Denis: the Column de la Victoire and the city of Saint-Denis Town Hall. If you' looking for a souvenir from the capital of Reunion, one of the best Saint-Denis activities is visiting the Grand Marché, the great covered market in Saint-Denis where you'll find wooden handicrafts and a host of spices (vanilla is the country's most famous flagship product). Finally, one of the best places to visit in Saint-Denis isn't actually in the city. The Roche Écrite mountian overlooks the city and we'd suggest taking a sunrise tour and enjoy the best views of the city at dawn.
