When to go to Saint-Denis (Réunion)?
The Barachois gives Saint-Denis its seafront promenade, with the trade wind coming straight off the ocean. Behind it, the Creole houses of Vieux-Saint-Denis keep their fretwork, shutters and lacquered wood, and the Jardin de l'État offers shade under old latan palms. On Fridays and Saturdays the Saint-Paul market piles up lychees, vanilla and rhum arrangé.
