North Island Tour Sightseeing

Port Louis

The capital and main port of Mauritius, Port Louis, The Harbour lies sheltered in a semi-circle of mountains. The town has plenty of character, and shows in certain quarters signs of its past elegance. Off the main square, palm-lined Place D'Armes, there are some particularly fine French colonial buildings, especially the Government House and the Municipal Theatre, both built in the 18th Century. The lively covered market offers an insight into the fascinating cross-section of Mauritian life.

La Citadel
The wonderful Pereybere public beach is popular because of its shopping facilities, restaurants and pubs.
