Marché Forain Rivière des Galets

4.3(286 reviews)

About

Found on Réunion, Marché Forain Rivière des Galets sits on Rue Chanoine Murat in Le Port 97420, on the island's north-west coast. Reaching it from Saint-Paul or Saint-Denis is simple by road, and Réunion has no railway, so travel around the island is by car or bus on coastal roads. Le Port sits on the north-west coast, which puts the market within easy driving distance of the capital and the western towns. The venue is a marketplace, with stalls set out along Rue Chanoine Murat. It is known for its busy trading days, reflected in a 4.3/5 rating drawn from 286 reviews. With 286 reviews behind a 4.3/5 rating, the market has built a broad record among shoppers and visitors. Rainfall on Réunion varies sharply, with the windward east coast far wetter than the sheltered west, so the north-west setting tends to be the drier side of the island. Saint-Denis, Saint-Paul and Sainte-Marie all lie within a short drive, and the Rue Chanoine Murat location keeps the market within Le Port rather than out on the coast road.
