Medine Sugar mill
Visit rum distilling of the Medine Sugar mill. You will monitor
the manufacturing process of local rum. You will be able to

Martello Towers
The Martello Towers represent the scene of the ancient rivalry
between old colonial powers and the ingenuity of mankind. They
are a milestone in the island's history; they symbolise the
end of slavery and the beginning of Indian immigration.
Chamarel
A winding road leads from Case Noyale village to the coloured
earths of Chamarel: an undulating landscape of different and
contrasting shades of colours. The different shades of blue,
green, red and yellow are apparently the result of the erosion
of the volcanic ash. The neighbouring waterfalls of Chamarel
rise from the moors and the native plant life. The site possesses
a rare beauty. Some «Table d'hôtes» have been recently created
in the Chamarel Village where you can enjoy the taste of typical
Mauritian cuisine.
Salt Pans
Owing to the exceptional high level of sunshine the district
receives, Tamarin is naturally the heart of salt production
in Mauritius.
Yemen
Yemen Reserve may not be the largest game reserve on the island,
but there is still lots to see. You will be able to get close
to the herds of deer, as well as admire some splendid species
of Mauritian fauna. A few rustic kiosks available in the reserve
provide an unobstructed view of the sea. There you can sip a
local punch while watching the sun going down.
The market of Quatre bornes
The famous market of Quatre bornes is folkrorik and not expensive.
Surely not the ideal place to find gret brands clothing. But
it is in such places that the Mauritians make their shopping.
Ideal to have a contact with the people.
Casela
 The
Casela Bird Park lies in the Black River Gorges area of Mauritius.
It is a major bio diversity hotspot and is rich in varied flora
and fauna. The Park is spread over an area of 20 acres. The
Casela Baird Park is probably the most famous for the rare Mauritian
pink pigeons, though there are around 120 other bird species
at the Park.
The vegetation at the Park includes small "yej" trees, as well
as seasonal orchids that find an ideal growth environment in
the humid, cool climes of the Casela Bird Park. As to the avian
life, one might find birds from all over the world at this Park.
Apart from the Pink Pigeon, you may also come across kites,
kingfishers, orioles, mynahs, bustards and many other kinds
of birds. The ponds dotting the Park are a haven for tortoises,
fish and many waterbirds that live off the fish. Don't forget
to visit the many small streams and waterfalls cascading from
the hilly crevices. The Casela Bird Sanctuary is also home to
animals like tigers, lemurs, macaques and many kinds of lizards
and geckos.
The lush palm trees, the many kinds of tropical plants that
are a nesting place for the birds also add to the charms of
the Park. With so many bird species from all over the world
nesting and breeding in a single spot, Casela is obviously an
ornithologist's delight. This however, does not imply that the
non-expert cannot visit this paradise on earth and learn about
all the wonders of nature.
Open every day from 9h00 to 17h00.
Shopping in Floreal and curepipe
Your holidays in the Island of mauritius is

cashmere articles and paréos. Very typical, models of boats,
and especially the dodo, emblematic animal of the island,
which is represented through many artisanal objects. There
are many duty-free stores in Mauritius, especially for jewelleries.
