Description

Embark on a truly unforgettable journey through the captivating south-east region of Mauritius, renowned for its stunning white sand beaches and the turquoise expanse of the Indian Ocean. Beyond its natural beauty, this area holds a rich tapestry of history waiting to be explored. From ancient settlement traces to the Creole culture, the past comes alive in this enchanting corner of the island. Mahebourg: A Living Chronicle of the Past: In the heart of the south-east lies the picturesque town of Mahébourg, where the island’s history comes alive. Once occupied by the Dutch during their short stay, the town’s “Arrival of the Dutch” monument commemorates their presence. Later, under the watchful eye of Mahé de La Bourdonnais, the town’s development flourished. From its initial name of Bourg-Mahé to the final homage as Mahébourg, the famous French governor’s legacy is imprinted on the town’s soul. Wandering through Mahébourg, you’ll be captivated by the remnants of French urbanization. The meticulously planned streets and spacious drains, a marvel of their time, showcase the town’s heritage. By the bus station, the remains of the old railway station stand as a reminder of a bygone era. Stroll towards the river La Chaux, and you’ll discover the quaint old washhouse, where time seems to stand still. Mahebourg offers a perfect blend of history, culture, and natural beauty, making it a must-visit destination for travelers seeking a memorable experience in Mauritius.

Historical Sites: Mahebourg Naval Museum: Located in the French colonial-era Old Naval Hospital, this museum houses artifacts and exhibits related to the maritime history of Mauritius. Mahebourg Historical Naval Archives: A treasure trove of documents, maps, and manuscripts that offer insights into the island’s naval history. Biscuiterie Rault: Visit this iconic biscuit factory that has been in operation for over 140 years, a testament to the island’s culinary heritage.
