Venture from your Mauritius resort to Mahebourg, a historic Mauritius town that awaits you.

As one of the oldest towns in Mauritius, Mahebourg streets showcase stories from the Dutch and French colonial eras. The Mahebourg Museum, nestled in a colonial-era building, unveils the rich maritime and military history of the region, while the bustling local market is a feast for the senses, with vibrant stalls offering fresh produce, handmade crafts, and the intoxicating aromas of Mauritian spices. Strolling along the waterfront, visitors are treated to panoramic views of the turquoise Indian Ocean, where the peaceful ambiance of the south-east coast invites moments of reflection and awe.

For those seeking an authentic taste of the island's heritage, a visit to the Rault Biscuit Factory is an unmissable experience. Founded in 1870, this family-run factory continues to produce its famous cassava biscuits, a centuries-old recipe that has been passed down through generations. Watching the biscuits being freshly baked and sampling them straight from the oven is a unique opportunity to connect with the island's culinary traditions. Whether you're exploring Mahebourg's historical landmarks, indulging in the local cuisine, or simply soaking in the breathtaking landscapes, this journey through the south-east of Mauritius promises a memorable and enriching adventure filled with cultural discovery and serene beauty.
