Port Louis, Capital of Mauritius

Port Louis , the capital of Mauritius, was founded by the 

French governor and colonist Bertrand-François Mahé de La 

Bourdonnais in 1735.

Situated on the north-west coast, Port Louis is the business 

And administrative capital of Mauritius. Packed with office-

Workers during the day, it quickly quietens down after office-

Hours – allowing visitors to enjoy a night out along the 

Famous Caudan Waterfront.

Those arriving during daylight hours should head for the 

Bustling Central Market or Champ de Mars: the oldest 

Racecourse in the Indian Ocean region.
