Discover l'île Maurice
Of course, it's got all the makings of an island - the kind we Europeans dream of in need of color, softness and warmth when winter hits: exoticism, coconut palms, zoli parlé kréol, cool-attitude, white sand and turquoise lagoons. But that's not all. As a geographic and strategic crossroads on the vast Indian Ocean, successively inhabited by peoples from Europe, Africa and Asia, Mauritius offers its diversity and plurality to those who thought it was exclusively a seaside resort. Temples, pagodas, processions, folklore. Rites, prayers and traditions. A multiple heritage: culinary, literary, musical, architectural... and natural too, since beyond the beaches, in the green heart of the island, peaks, forests, waterfalls, etc., create the relief. From craters to places of worship, from Chinese tabagies to beach caravans, from street art to street food, Mauritius surprises and cultivates its rich diversity.
