WHAT YOU VISIT
Eureka Colonial House
Relive the genteel days of colonial Mauritius as you walk through this authentically-appointed five-acre estate. Built in 1830 for a prosperous family, the home is a living museum with rooms appointed with authentic furnishings. The courtyard behind the main mansion contains beautifully manicured grounds surrounded by a set of stone cottages, which housed the servants' quarters and kitchen.
Tamil Temple
A variant of the Hindu religion, followers of Tamil built this grand temple featuring colorful deities and flowers over a white background, with a profusion of frescos, statues and bas-reliefs enhanced by gilding.
PHOTO OPPORTUNITY
Located on the side of Signal mountain above the church, the Marie Reine de la Paix Monument marks the spot where in 1989, Pope John Paul, on his first official visit to Mauritius, held Mass for thousands of islanders. Photos from this spot boast breathtaking views of the city.
SHOPPING
Shop 'til you drop with a visit to the lively community market in Port Louis. Join the bustling throngs of traders and shoppers who gather to bargain for spices, fruits, vegetables, grains and craftwork and if you're feeling brave, you can barter for your own bargains before heading to the vibrant Le Caudan Waterfront. Browse the many shops and boutiques that sell everything from t-shirts and jewelry to crafts.
WHAT YOU SEE ALONG THE WAY
As your driver winds his way along the roads to the northwestern part of the island, you'll travel through a landscape of country and city.
