This is such a great studio, the team is friendly, the layout wonderful and just so very many beautiful details to absorb. The converted building has been beautifully restored and made appropriate. Lovely coffee and the most lovely toilet I have seen in ages. So well worth the visit. Thank you Forbes for your gracious hospitality.

L'Aventure du Sucre

Not far from the Botanical Garden of Pamplemousse, a bougainvillea and coconut trees alley, a pond lined with lush nature ... in this stunning tropical setting stands the massive renovated sugar mill which is one of the most spectacular attraction of the island! The tour begins with sound of the jungle and of the waves of the ocean in the huge factory, with its gigantic machinery decked with a thousand lights : giant screens, movies, a barge floating and the sudden whistle of a railway engine. Experience an interactive and entertaining journey into the heart of Mauritius : its history closely linked to sugarcane, the secrets of sugar processing and the famous co-products of sugarcane (rum, electricity , natural fertilizers ...). Guided tour at no extra charge at 10:30am and 2:30pm from Monday to Thursday and 14:30 on Friday. Gourmet gifts at the boutique and tasty cuisine at the Restaurant le Fangourin or at its train station café that offers delicious homemade takeaways .

In a lush garden you will find the L’Aventure du Sucre , the best museum in Mauritius in my opinion. At l’Aventure du Sucre you get a thorough view on the history of Mauritius, both botanical but also social. It is definitively worth taking the time to read as much of the material as possible. I learnt a lot of interesting facts about how Mauritius came to be the beautiful island we know today, out of a place that was, to say the least, a very hostile place. The history of the different people that built the island is absolutely fascinating, especially nice to see that a whole section is devoted to the slaves that did the hard work. All the material is available in both English and French. The sugar tasting and the gift shop at the end was a nice touch (perfect for buying Rhum and sugar in various forms to bring back home as gifts. Be aware though that you get better prices for Rhum in a normal supermarket...) There is also a restaurant on the premises which I did not try, but it looked very tempting! I recommend this place to any person who is interested in history and plants. Younger kids will find it fascinating to see the big machines that are still being used.

Mauritius Aquarium

Reviewed By Z8789SNbarbarak

I had never expected the aquarium to be so interesting and still can't believe the amazing moray eels seen there, not to mention the stone fish and many others. Truly worth a visit! And,very friendly staff. Best is to be there at one of the feeding times.
