view of the little islands Ile Plate, Ile Ronde and Coin de Mire. The beautifully situated

Trou-aux-Biches: one of the most beautiful beaches in Mauritius. It is particularly suitable for children since the water isn't deep there.

The indian temple of Maheswarnath in Triolet can be reached after a short walk of about 30 minutes.
