Port-Louis is the capital of the Republic of Mauritius where modernity and history clash. Lose yourself in the local “China Town”, stroll to the central market or watch the horseracing on Saturday at the Champ de Mars. Port-Louis is a lively and sultry city with around 250 000 people on its streets, shrines, skyscrapers and its anarchical traffic. It is a dynamic port of commerce, a financial hub and an administrative capital in full swing. It is the city of contrast, taverns, shops, businessmen and small vendors. It is a changing city worth discovering. Do not miss the market, La Citadelle, the Government House, the Place d'Armes and Champ de Mars.
