Hotel du Ville, or Town Hall, can be visited while touring the downtown area in your car hire. Originally, this 18th century building was constructed as an administrative building for the French East India Company. Sadly, renovation in the early 20th century has meant that while its exterior is identical to how it was when first built, its interiors have been modernised and altered. The formal, well manicured gardens surrounding the hall are home to a number of trees, fountains and late 19th century statues.

Those wishing to learn more about the city’s agricultural past and culture may do so at Pays d'art et d'histoire, which can be found in nearby Pierrefords. The museum highlights Sainte Pierre’s heritage, including its maritime history.

The city’s covered market bazaar dates back to the 1850s. Located on Rue Victor the Vigourous, this pretty site is home to an active market following a recent refurbishment. The delightful market area hosts numerous market stalls. The outline of the market is marked by four fountains.
