Paille en Queue
About
Paille en Queue, on Réunion, occupies a spot at 3 Rue Paille en Queue in Saint-Louis 97450, Reunión. First-time visitors should expect a small art gallery rather than a large museum, so a viewing can be fitted into a short stop. The gallery takes its name from the island's own bird, which gives the venue a local identity.
Visitors rate Paille en Queue 4.1 out of 5, a score drawn from 109 reviews. That feedback suggests a gallery that satisfies those who seek it out, without the crowds of larger island attractions. Nearby Saint-Pierre and Le Tampon sit within the island's southern half, making the gallery a possible addition to a day already spent in that part of Réunion.
The gallery keeps a website at http://www.lepailleenqueue.re/ for anyone wanting to look ahead. Saint-Louis sits on the coastal road that runs much of the way round Réunion, so reaching the gallery from the main towns is straightforward by car.
French is the official language of Réunion, and Réunion Creole is spoken widely in daily life, so a few words of French help when asking directions. Réunion's airport sits in the north of the island, and the coastal road links the main towns along the way. The island's population descends from African, Indian, European and Chinese settlers, and each December the abolition of slavery is marked here.
