The Creole Houses
Saint-Denis has some splendid Creole houses, often with big open varangues (verandas) and delicate lambrequins (carved wood cornices) on their eaves and window frames. Most are found on the Rue de Paris, between Rue Rontaunay and the Government Park. Especially fine specimens include the Joinville Hôtel, with its Tuscan colonnades, and Deramond-Barre House.
