Introducing Quatre Bornes
For many people Quatre Bornes is nothing more than a big conurbation built up around the tediously busy road linking Flic en Flac to the M1. Its main street, St Jean Rd, is always choked with traffic, but despite this the town is pleasantly lively with lots of shopping. The twice-weekly clothes market on Thursday and Sunday is well worth a visit. Locals flock here from miles around to rummage the stalls, where it’s possible to find top-quality garments with almost imperceptible flaws selling at low prices; check carefully though, since quality varies enormously. There’s nothing much else to bring you here, however. There’s an internet centre on the 2nd floor of the Orchard Centre on St Jean Rd.
