The spine of the old town St Denis runs from the central park (Le Jarine de l'État) to the sea with the cannons on the boulevard, as Rue de Paris/Avenue de la Victoire. Most of the buildings along this road are restored or reconstructed mansions from the early 1800's and the architecture is itself something to see. A few are museums and galleries, some seem to be government buildings while a few seem to remain in private hands. Even the lamp posts harken back to an old era where everything needed to be ornate.
