What to see in Port Louis

1. Le Morne Brabant
   Le Morne Brabant is a towering mountain at the southwestern tip of the island, and its summit gives a wide view over the lagoon and the beaches below.
2. Terre des 7 Couleurs (Chamarel)
   These volcanic earth dunes form bands of sharply distinct colours, from brown to violet, green and ochre, that never blend together.
3. Marché central de Port-Louis
   Port-Louis Central Market is the commercial and sensory heart of the Mauritian capital.
4. Aapravasi Ghat
   This site is the only surviving witness to where, between 1834 and 1910, hundreds of thousands of Indian indentured labourers first set foot on Mauritius.
5. Jardin de Pamplemousses
   Founded in the eighteenth century under the impulse of Pierre Poivre, this is one of the oldest botanical gardens in the Southern Hemisphere.
6. Île aux Cerfs
   Île aux Cerfs is a small privately owned island off Mauritius's east coast, set in a turquoise lagoon fringed with sandbanks.
7. Trou aux Biches
   Trou aux Biches is a public beach on Mauritius's north coast, with a lagoon whose waters are usually calm.
8. Grand Baie
