Le Port

Le Port serves as the main gateway to Reunion Island with its commercial harbor, containing two distinct port areas separated by three kilometers.

The city emerged from the construction of Pointe des Galets port, which started in 1879 and was completed in 1886, drawing workers from Madagascar, India, and Egypt.

The city maintains a network of 29 public schools, 4 colleges, and 2 high schools, forming a substantial educational infrastructure for its 33,336 residents.

The eastern port section handles commercial activities including container traffic, while the western section manages recreational activities and fishing operations.

Le Port stands as the third largest French naval base and the fourth busiest container port in France, despite being located in the Indian Ocean.
