Built facing the ocean in 1780, the marine cemetery is home to many characters who have marked the history of the island: the Desbassayns family, the poets Leconte De Lisle and Eugène Dayot or unfortunate Breton sailors, tragically shipwrecked in the middle of the Indian Ocean. The best time to visit this place of contemplation is undoubtedly late afternoon, when the sun sets over the magnificent bay of Saint-Paul. Ask the city's architecture and heritage animator for information on visits.

Visit a cemetery may seem surprising first. But such a place quickly makes you forget the rush a terrible atmosphere. The tombs of the most famous residents are indicated using black panels painted with yellow painting, quickly giving a tone of piracy to the place. That falls, pirates do not miss: Olivier Levasseur, " known as La Buse, Pirates Seas of Sud" (most famous), or Eraste Layer, " Master mariner, who Died in Duel" , mix with the writer Eugène Dayot, author of Mutilated or the poet Leconte de Lisle, successor of Victor Hugo French Academy. With the alleys, in addition to many enormous and multicoloured lizards, you will discover beautiful Chinese tombs, Breton, Basque or Réunion. In short, a mixed cemetery with the rest of the island. Finish your visit leaving sea side you will be enchanted by the long and beautiful black sandy beach.
I felt a very strong feeling entering this magnificent cemetery or personality found the rest beach behind the cave first French opposite a wonderful place to visit has any price
