Maison Carrère

The two-story white building features traditional French colonial architecture with high windows, wooden shutters, and ornate balcony railings on the upper floor.

The original single-story wooden house from 1820 was transformed in 1908 by sugar merchant Raphaël Carrère into the current mansion with its grand facade.

The interior displays period furniture and objects that illustrate the daily life of wealthy French colonial residents during the 19th century in Réunion Island.

Located at 14 Rue de Paris in central Saint-Denis, the building now serves as the tourist office and offers guided tours throughout the day.

The mansion represents the final architectural enhancement along Rue de Paris, marking the end of a century of urban development in Saint-Denis.
