Chamarel rums are among the finest in Mauritius. Their history is linked to that of the Couacaud family, who, in 2008, built a distillery to produce cane juice rum (agricultural type), whose production is controlled from A to Z: from cultivation to the final bottle. Part of the brut rum is aged in French Limousin oak barrels to produce Rhum Ambré (18 months), VSOP (4 years), XO (6 years), vieux rhum (10 years) and a few vintages carefully selected by the cellar master.

Covered, it stands just in front of the bus station and the bay of Mahébourg, in a hall open to the outside and exhaling exotic scents. Even if the place is not huge, it is a change of scenery pleasure to shop there and stroll along its well-ordered fruit and vegetable stalls. You can buy fish, various spices, handicrafts, clothes and other objects of everyday life... Nearby, the stalls of the many street vendors and street vendors - fresh coconuts, freshly squeezed juice... - are lined up.

Several stores share the market, including Loyeung (on the left side of the road leading to Pointe d'Esny) and London Way (on Rue la Chaux, on the right side perpendicular to the seaside road leading to Blue Bay). The latest, much larger than the others, is Bo'Valon Mall, a full-fledged shopping center built around a 4,000^m2 super King Savers, with a shopping mall, a food court, several restaurants and all the usual facilities - large parking lot, ATM. Open 7 days a week from 9:30 am to 8 pm, until 2 pm on Sunday.
