A Lively Town Centre and Its Waterfront

Known as the “capital” of the south, Saint-Pierre is a lively city full of charm. Its variety of shops, cafés, and cultural spots makes it a great place to explore. The bustling town centre offers everything you need for a pleasant day, from local boutiques to welcoming restaurants. And with the waterfront just steps away, you can easily head to the beach and its lagoon for a relaxing break after a shopping spree - all made even easier with your Tropicar rental car.

The Open-Air Market and Must-See Events

Saint-Pierre’s open-air market, voted the 3rd most beautiful market in France in 2018, is one of the city’s highlights. Held every Saturday morning along the waterfront, it bursts with local products, from fresh fruit and vegetables to spices and handicrafts, all in a warm, bustling atmosphere. Expect a feast for the senses, with the sound of waves and the mouth-watering aromas of Réunionese specialities.

Another unmissable experience is the Sakifo Festival, held every June at La Ravine Blanche. This major event draws thousands of visitors and showcases both local and international artists. It’s easy to get there with your Tropicar rental car, and shuttles are also available to take you straight into the heart of the action.
