- St Pierre is going to surprise you. From the street foods, friendly people, shopping, history, the mall and simply enjoying a walk in a town that feels good.
We started at the bus station near the Bazaar St. Pierre sign, I'm still laughing. After looking around the new market, which hasn't opened yet, and the bus station we made our way to get some snacks for breakfast. Riki had some bhajis and I got deep-fried bread, it was battered first, and they both tasted great.
After strolling through the shopping area, where there appears to be a lot of diversification, including people selling shoes and vegetables from the same shop. One of them had fish tank equipment in a clothing shop. They were also a whole host of seedlings for sale, but we stopped else were. I needed new sunglasses, as the wire I was using to hold them together, has started to rust! I got the perfect pair, and they were on discount, which was great, but not as great as Riki's find; perfect jeans for only Rs 150. She was really happy.
A short stroll down the side streets brought us to a bridge and the church that the town is named after, Saint Pierre church. Build-in 1769, it has stood the ravages of time with its accompanying cemetery with grave markers from the same time. We peered over the wall and then continued to our planned next destination.
The main road did have lots of traffic and noisy motorbikes, but it also has a lot of old buildings. Some were still in use, but others looked abandoned. It wasn't until we looked closer that we saw that the builds were still in use, only the frontage was unused. At the town limits, we found our next destination, a Chinese noodle shop, with a build your own ramen bowl. We built our masterpiece and took it to the park to enjoy.
A surprisingly tranquil area in the heart of the town. Great benches overlooking the stream and a gazebo to sit out the occasional rain shower. The noodles with tea-stained egg, roast beef, green stuff, and Shenzhen sauce was the best noodle dish I have eaten so far. When they open for sit down I will go back and get a full ramen bowl.
Riki mentioned the growth of the accommodation in the area as we passed the 1903 convent. It would be a great place to spend a couple of days, with the town life, great foods and the nearby hiking.
I went a little gaga over the beautiful old train station. The stonework is still in pristine condition, but unfortunately, the woodwork has started rot and with it, the roof is slowly going, but still a monument to the time when rail ruled the land. Around it there are large factories and businesses, some of the supporting buildings have been repaired and being used, but the station and an old shingle-walled build, with its strange benches, have been neglected.
We closed out the day at Kendra mall with its KFC, Pizza Inn, and many fine shops, and of course very well-appointed toilets. A baguette with some cold meat and cheese from Winners supermarket was our choice for supper.

Fun to watch as you & your wife are so lively & energetic 😁 Greetings from Brunei
Wow, thanks!
Thank you for your video on CZcams Montagne Blanche and Saint Pierre .
Our pleasure! They are great places
There was a sugar mill in St Pierre which was still operating in 2005 when I last visited Mauritius. My niece's husband used to work there and they lived in St Pierre in a house, free of charge, which was the property of the sugar estate. There is a water reservoir in St Pierre or nearby worth checking.
They are build an office park at the sugar mill, it looks very nice.
Great footage guys. My mum and grandparents grew up in st pierre and I have some wonderful memories. The shop where you bought the noodles belongs to my uncle. It's been there for generations and the noodles are handmade every morning.
Your video has brought back some great memories and also unearthed some areas which are new to me!
Glad you enjoyed it. Tell your uncle thanks, his noodles were great.
Very nice video Bryan.
I would suggest you one day take a trip by bus and see how amazing the trip is.
Sounds great! Thanks for the suggestion
A big thank you to you both for showing the foods. Another awesome video. You get a like from me.
Thanks so much
@@BryanDiscoversWorld You both are ambassador for Mauritius.
@@JohnSmith-el5mo thanks
One of your best video mate ,make some more in St Pierre , where I grew up .
Thanks, it is a great place
Wow amazing place 😍
It really is!
Nearly missed this one. Cool place. Love the park, Great place to eat your noodles. We need the railways back. ModernEV trains would be sooo cool. Good one guys thanks.
My wife says tompuce is called that because it's like small cabbage. Dunno, maybe.
I would be great to have proper trains back. Maybe on the small cabbage, thanks
That’s street food looks so good haha! Nice hair cut!
Thank you 😋 the food was great
Ah..St.Pierre ! What a quaint place in the district of Moka.The shops near the bus station are truly an Aladin cave which has changed very little through the ages.These contrast so well with the modern shopping precincts only a stone-throw away .Great discovery with regards to old railway station. It's such a shame that the authorities don't take care of these historical buildings as they've just been allowed to decay and crumble, not to mention Health and safety issues.Glad you enjoyed your visit and hope you'll do a piece on nearby Moka very soon.
We are planning Moka, but we need a few of the great attractions to be open again, which looks like only in July now.
That bowl of noodles is well worth a trip back all by itself. The town is such a pleasant visit with great shopping, need more jeans :)
It really is!
Gateau bringelle and pain frites
Gateau arouille with lots of chilli sauce are my favourites
Sounds good, I will try that one
Saint Pierre is my home town- the Loretto Covent is a secondary school- & Naaz use to be a cinema.
Cool, and thanks for the info
Nice and quiet place
Yip
Love you guys
Thanks
U BOTH R LOOKING GREAT
Thanks
Last time I was in Mauritius Cinema Naaz was used as an underwear clothing factory for UK M&S chain.
how the might have...well changed
Hi Bryan and Riki so happy you came in Montagne Blanche my mother and I say hello to you sorry if I don't talk to much I was so shock to see you in my town glade that's you have a great day!:)
Wow, it was so great to meet you and your mom. Thank you for saying hello. You have a great town we really loved it.
@@BryanDiscoversWorld you welcome!:) And thank you!
NAAZ was a cinema hall back in the days. Now, it's a warehouse.
Ok, thanks for the info
Since VDO'S & DVD"S came out most theaters has been shut down.around the post office there ,it might be the social security office,and the postmaster house.
I like the idea that it was a post office, I can picture people sitting on benches wait for the train to deliver the mail.
What phone do you use for your videos. The image is just amazing. I enjoy watching your videos. Keep it up😊
I use Samsung A71 and Riki has a S7,
Bred tompouce is bok choy, the one which they add in fried rice or noodles
Thanks for the info
16:21 building was an Old cinema .it name was Naaz.
Thanks for the info
That's strange to me, breaded bread...Yeah! I think I would have had Riki's, or one with chilis. Riki, Thom thumb was very little, it looks like baby lettuce ...so maybe that's why. It's funny because I sit here and want you to try all the food and give it a review hahaha yet, you would be so full! OH MY WORD!! Riki!! You bought those jeans for $2.01 USD that is sooooo super cheap. You could not get used (second hand) jeans for $2 here!! Maybe at a yard sale. Oh my goodness, I want to go there just to spend money! ( Note to self: Spend spend spend in Goodlands and St Pierre!) Our government doesn't allow those kind of shops, like pull your van up and sell things. They want their control and cut. Thank you for filling me in Bryan, I was wondering why they were brown. Here that's a creek not a river. lol to us that's a weasel not an otter. Yet they are closely related. It was good to see though. I have watched several of your videos over the last 24 hrs or so and the bats and that weasel/ferret/otter thing are the only wild animals I have seen.
A lot of the brand name jeans and other textiles are make here, so when one isn't perfect they sell it locally. There is not a lot of wild life here, we have deer, wild pigs and monkeys, and loads of birds
The cake you were eating in 4:00 is bajya and di pain frir
ok, thanks for the info

''Tom Pouce'' in Creole language means Dwarf
Great, Thanks makes more sense now
Naaz is cinema hall now it is a store .
Thanks for the info.
75?? For a panini?? Wow those prices really increased!!!
I was a little surprised at the time, but it is a normal price for a panini on the street.
A lot of people in Mauritius like to show off their house if they have a big one.🥱
Yip and they do make them look good, sometimes
I wonder who are those people in this yellow car ? 🤔🤣
Paid actors, not very good, need practice. 🤣🤣
