Church of Sainte-Jeanne d'Arc le Port. In 1900 there was only one small chapel in the municipality of Port, located on what is now Place Pierre Sémard. At this point, the building was dilapidated and no longer met the spiritual needs of an ever-growing population. François Césaire de Mahy, deputy for Réunion in the Assembly, pushed for the port to be declared a parish, which required the state to finance the construction of a place of worship. It was above all Abbé Joseph Henri Murat, who was called to Le Port in 1898, who advocated the building of a real church.
