The driver guide will pick you up at your hotel or residence. During this tour, the very important notion of “well living together” will be presented to you through four totally different religious buildings within a radius of less than one kilometer!
Our first stop will be the Guan Di Temple, built by the Chinese community of Reunion Island. God of commerce, literature and war, Guan Di is rooted in the history of the Chinese people who arrived on the island after the abolition of slavery.
We will then head towards the city center to visit the Saint-Pierre-Saint-Paul church, a Christian Catholic building, classified as a historical monument. Its impressive wood structure will surprise you!
We continue our walk towards the Atyaboul Massadjid mosque of Saint Pierre. Its minaret of more than 40 meters in height, emblem of Islam in Reunion, call to pray every day!
Let’s then go to meet the Hindus with the Tamoul Maha Karli temple. Artists came especially from India to build and decorate this temple of thousands of colors! Note: conditions requested to enter in the temple: shorts, skirts, tank tops and leathers are prohibited.
Let’s conclude this tour with a stopover at the local market of Saint Pierre in order to buy, if you wish, some local souvenirs!
We then return calmly back to your hotel or residence.
