Gouzou : Evasion d'un Gouzou et d'une Vache
About
Gouzou : Evasion d'un Gouzou et d'une Vache in Réunion occupies 170 Rue Marius et Ary Leblond, Saint-Pierre 97410, Reunión, in the island's southern town.
This is an art gallery, and its walls are given over to the Gouzou figure and its bovine companion, characters that have become a recognisable part of local visual culture. Word has travelled: 601 reviews have produced a 4.3 out of 5 average.
First-time visitors can expect a compact, walkable space rather than a large museum circuit, so an hour covers it comfortably. The gallery's website, http://www.lusineagouzou.fr/, carries the details of what is currently on show.
Saint-Pierre sits on the southern coast, and the island's airport lies up in the north, so most arrivals drive down the coastal road that runs much of the way round. Réunion has been a French overseas department since 1946 and uses the euro, which simplifies paying for anything bought on site. Rainfall differs sharply across the island, with the windward east coast far wetter than the sheltered west, so a dry afternoon in the south is often a safe bet.
