Port Ouest on Réunion
Island is a unique blend of industry and leisure. This multifaceted port
encompasses an industrial zone, a naval base (the third largest in France!), a
passenger terminal, a fishing port, and a marina. Witness a hive of activity,
from recreational sailing to large-scale naval repairs.
While Port
Ouest isn't a shopping hub, the nearby town of Le Port offers a chance to
immerse yourself in local culture. Explore the Bazaar sous
Pied Bois market, where the scents of coffee, vanilla, and
turmeric fill the air. For a dose of history and architecture, visit the Jardin de
l’État gardens and admire the Maison Carrère mansion. If you're
looking for nightlife, head to the nearby capital, Saint-Denis, where local
bars like Ô Bar Reunion and Les Bains De
Minuit offer a taste of Réunion's vibrant scene.
