From here we proceed through to the Historic Marine - a model ship factory. We will then continue to L'Aventure du Sucre (Sugar World), an old sugar mill at Beau Plan which has been transformed into a museum that records the history of sugar, the mainstay of the Mauritian economy for many years.

Wander through the vibrant Port Louis Market, where you’ll find everything from colourful textiles and handcrafted goods to fresh local produce. Afterwards, enjoy some time to browse the shops and boutiques at the Le Caudan Waterfront, a lively spot blending modern shopping with island charm. For lunch, indulge in authentic Mauritian flavours at the Fangourin Restaurant, set in a tranquil garden setting that adds to the island experience.

Day 5. Day of leisure at the hotel (BD)
