Sainte-Suzanne is a commune on the north coast of the French island and department of Réunion. It is bordered by the communes of Saint-André, Sainte-Marie and Salazie. The course of the Saint-Jean River denoted the border between Saint-André and Saint-Suzanne. The town, along with Saint-Denis, was founded in 1667 by Étienne Regnault, the first governor of the island.
