Sainte-Marie

Sainte-Marie has served as an agricultural community on Réunion’s northeast coast since the colonial era. Set between the Indian Ocean and the island’s rising interior, it belongs to the windward side of this French overseas department, where rainfall supports sugar-cane fields and tropical cultivation. The commune is also home to Roland Garros Airport, Réunion’s principal air link, connecting the island with the wider Indian Ocean world. Local life has a distinctly Creole character, heard in Réunion Creole and reflected in cooking shaped by Malagasy, African, Indian and French traditions.
