Saint-Denis
This coastal city at the northern tip of Réunion island in the Indian Ocean is the French overseas department's administrative capital, with an exceptionally dense café and restaurant scene along its waterfront. Mountains rise close behind the city, and the wider region holds UNESCO World Heritage sites. As the most populous commune in France's overseas departments, Saint-Denis carries the energy of a genuine urban centre in an Indian Ocean setting.
