Dans l'océan indien, la Réunion offre la diversité d'un continent sur 2.500 Km2, et change de visage à chaque étage de son relief monumental. Son histoire a mitonné un cocktail exclusif de peuples et de cultures, dont les ingrédients viennent d'Europe, d'Afrique, d'Inde et d'Asie. Carrefour des diverses influences mondiales, le port de plaisance de Saint-Gilles-les-Bains constitue un site privilégié par la mémoire qu'il porte et par son intégration au tissu urbain. À proximité d'une station balnéaire, classée "Pavillon Bleu", il constitue une véritable locomotive touristique pour la Réunion.
