About Port Louis

Port Louis is the capital of Mauritius, a working harbour city with a big central market, a hilltop citadel and a waterfront of shops and cafés.

Port Louis lies on the north-west coast of Mauritius, at the foot of a ring of volcanic peaks. Founded in the 1730s by the French governor Mahé de La Bourdonnais, it is a mix of colonial buildings, mosques, temples and glass towers. The Central Market sells spices, fruit, vanilla and tea, and the Caudan Waterfront has shops, cafés and the Blue Penny Museum, which holds the island's rare early stamps.
