PORT-LOUISMAHEBOURG AND GRAND BAYTHE WATERS OF COP-IN-FLAKE

Port-Louis, a cosmopolitan capital City

Founded by Mahé de la Bourdonnais in the 18th century, Port-Louis is the place to go in Mauritius for an experience of tradition mixed with modernity.

From the majestic facade of the city's theatre to the immaculate whiteness of the Government House, the architecture of Port-Louis reveals the different influences that have shaped the city.

The multi-coloured stalls of the central market will awaken all your senses. Enjoy a dholl puri, a popular Indian pancake, or savour the Asian delicacies served in Chinatown's establishments.

Then continue on to Fort Adelaide (La Citadelle) at the heights of the city for a sublime panorama of Port Louis.

A magnificent botanical garden just outside Port-Louis.

A few minutes from Port-Louis is the Curepipe Botanical Garden, a remarkable green site. Enjoy strolling through its alleys lined with essences from all over the world before contemplating the sublime water lily pond and its enchanting reflections.

Authentic visits to Mahébourg and Grand Bay

Located on the east coast, Mahébourg is a small, picturesque fishing village. Here time seems to be suspended.

From the colonial French-style building which houses the National History Museum, to the streets of the old village which bear witness to the Dutch occupation, to the Rault biscuit factory which has been making tasty cassava biscuits since 1870 – a stroll through this village will immerse you in the island's rich heritage. Dine ate of one of the beach restaurants in Mahébourg to taste the day's catch.

Nestled in the heart of a sheltered bay, Grand Bay’s lagoon invites contemplation.

Experience the authenticity of small shops by the ocean, the street vendors where you can taste rotis – spicy sandwiches popular with Mauritians – and the bars from which sega rhythms – the signature music of the island – escape. This is unforgettable Grand Bay.

Mandeburg, a name that wasn't chosen at random…

You will discover the influence of Mahé de La Bourdonnais, governor of the island under Louis XV during your trip to Mauritius. It is to pay tribute to him that Port-Sud-Est was renamed Mahébourg in 1804.

Colorful encounters in the waters of Cop-In-Flac

Flic-en-Flac is the place to go in Mauritius to enjoy snorkelling in glorious surroundings of turquoise waters, white sand and, in the distance, the imposing silhouette of the Morne Brabant towering against the blue sky.

Catch a glimpse of the dolphins frolicking in Flic-en-Flac early in the morning before diving under the surface to discover corals of all shapes and colours, diodones, rays, flounder-fish and multi-coloured parrots.

Mauritius is a tropical paradise with many treasures located in the heart of the Mascarene Archipelago in the Indian Ocean. The most beautiful places are the picturesque and authentic villages, sharing a rich culture and heritage and, of course, postcard-perfect beaches.
