The Charming Resurgence of the Ancient Artillery Barracks

The Charming Resurgence of the Ancient Artillery Barracks

Nestled upon Rue Jean-Chatel, in the enchanting heart of Saint-Denis, the Ancienne caserne d'artillerie - a treasure of history in La Réunion - had slumbered for decades. In the magical year of 2017, the French Conglomerate Cirano Group awakened this grand relic, transforming it into a palace of dreams, housing a studio time-share platform, performance hall, and a captivating restaurant.

Once a formidable sentinel standing proudly over the Barachois quarter for centuries, the Ancienne caserne d'artillerie was inscribed on the supplementary inventory of French Historic Monuments on the 9th of May, 2006. For many years, it served as a silent observer to the flow of time, after the colonial troops had bid their farewell. But, alas, in the year 2017, the French conglomerate Cirano Group enchanted new life into the old military barracks. Now, this venerable building echoes with vibrant energy, not the deafening roar of cannonfire, but the mesmerizing rhythm of a studio time-share platform, performance hall, and enchanting restaurant. This is a realm that invites visitors to meander through the centuries, steeped in history, while the new charms enchant within walls whispering tales of days long past.
