Pingouin
About
Pingouin, on Réunion, occupies 46 Rue Jean Chatel in Saint-Denis 97400, in the island's northern capital. First-time visitors should expect a clothing store rather than a general retailer, with a website at pingouin.re for a look before travelling.
Visitors rate it 4 out of 5 across 33 reviews, a modest but steady tally for a shop of its size. Saint-Denis sits on the northern coast, and the island's airport is in the north, so the shop is within reach of arrivals. Saint-Gilles-les-Bains and Saint-Pierre are the other main towns further round the coast. The 33 reviews give a small but real sample of how customers judge the clothing on offer. A score of 4 out of 5 places it among the better-regarded shops in its category on the island.
Since Réunion has no railway, travel between towns is by car or bus along the coastal roads. Saint-Paul and Saint-Leu lie along the western coast, while Sainte-Marie sits close to Saint-Denis on the northern side. Cilaos and Le Tampon sit inland, reached by winding roads into the highlands.
Rainfall on the island varies sharply, with the windward east coast far wetter than the sheltered west. The staple dish is cari, a curry of meat, fish or vegetables eaten with rice and rougail. Shoppers passing through Saint-Denis can combine a visit with a meal in the capital.
