Le vieux port - the old port
This is a very old part of town and great for a lazy afternoon wander. You can hire those bikes that take lots of passengers and also pedal boats. We paid $23 for 30 mins on the bike and that was long enough! And even though it was a rainy afternoon, it was still lovely. There's also a playground for kids at one end so everyone is happy.
