Saint-Paul Travel guide
Saint-Paul : Michelin's recommendations
In the 17C the first French settlers landed in the sheltered bay of St Paul and made it the capital of the island, unseated in the 18C by St Denis. While St Paul contains some traces from colonial days – such as the town hall and Chaussée royale: the former estate of the all-powerful Mrs Desbassyns – the main attraction is its market. It is the island’s most famous, is held along the seafront, and its streets lined with stalls have a pleasant atmosphere. Don’t miss the Tour des Roches watermill on St Paul pond and its abundant vegetation.
