Transport

[edit]

Saint-Paul was to be the western terminus of the proposedRéunion Tram Train. However, the project was abandoned in May 2010 due to a lack of funds.

The traditional grave of FrenchpirateOlivier Levasseur, nicknamedLa Buse ("The Buzzard") orLa Bouche ("The Mouth"), who was most famous for allegedly hiding one of the biggesttreasures in pirate history, estimated at over£1 billion, is located in Saint-Paul'sCimetière marin de Saint-Paul cemetery. Besides pirates, the cemetery also serves as the permanent resting place of poetsLeconte de Lisle andEugène Dayot, as well as the painterArthur Grimaud.
