The Village of Mahebourg, by definition, is named after the most successful governor of the island during the early french occupation period. Mahebourg (Mahé-Bourg), Mahe from Mahé de La Bourdonnais, and Bourg, the french definition to a town, was once chosen to be the main Port of the island known as ‘Port Sud-Est’, but later was abandoned in favor of Port Louis, also known as ‘Port Nord-Ouest’. This choice most certainly was due to the South East Trade Winds making it difficult for early vessels to leave the port, even though entrance was much easier. Mahebourg today still carries traces and remains of the early french occupation period, and among the most common:

The Abreuvoir
The Washhouse/Lavoir
The wide streets typical of French and Dutch occupation
The Church of Notre Dame des Anges (originally located at Grand Port)
The Old Gheude Castle (Chateau Robillard), now Naval Museum.

The ‘Lavoir’ (Washhouse) appears to be dating round 1770s and is built of beautifully crafted rectangular stones, most probably crafted by slaves. The ‘lavoir’ served as a washing facility to local washerwomen on the bank of La Chaux River, near the Cavendish Bridge, and it is believed that it was used primarily for the cleaning of uniforms and other outfits for french soldiers posted in the batteries on Ile de la Passe, Ile aux Fouquets, Pointe des Regates, Pointe Jerome and Pointe de la Colonie.

Seven Coloured Earth Chamarel Mauritius

The Seven Coloured Earths are a geological formation and prominent tourist attraction found in the Chamarel plain of the Rivière Noire District in south-western Mauritius. It is a relatively small area of sand dunes comprising sand of seven distinct colours.
The colors evolved through conversion of basaltic lava to clay minerals.
It is a relatively small area of sand dunes comprising sand of seven distinct colours (approximately red, brown, violet, green, blue, purple and yellow).
Due to the tropical weather conditions, all water-soluble elements such as silicon dioxide have been washed out. The remains are the reddish-black iron- and aluminium oxides which create shades in blue, cyan and purple. The various colours developed due to the different compositions.
And what is more fascinating is the fact that if you mix the coloured earth together, they'll eventually settle into separate layers. And you may also be puzzled as the colours might play tricks on you and may appear to be shadows millennia, the rocks were pulverized into sands which have the amazing property of settling into distinct layers: if you take a handful of each of the seven different colours of dirt and mix them together, they'd eventually separate into a colourful spectrum, each dot of sand re-joining its colour caste.
Since the earth was first exposed, rains had carved beautiful patterns into the hillside, creating an effect of earthen meringue. At first you'll notice shadows on the hills, creating the illusion of different colours, but soon you realise that the colours are real and the shadows were the illusion....200
Sunrise is the best time to see the Coloured Earths. Geologists are still intrigued by the rolling dunes of multi-coloured lunar-like landscape. The colours, red, brown, violet, green, blue, purple and yellow never erode in spite of torrential downpours and adverse climatic conditions.
The Colored Earth of Chamarel has become one of Mauritius' main tourist attractions since the 1960s.

Mark Twain said that heaven was copied after Mauritius.

Mauritius, the sun-drenched island in the Indian Ocean may be better known as a honeymooners' paradise with its pristine beaches and sumptuous resorts.

Yet this multicultural melange of a nation also offers great biodiversity, exciting flora and fauna, lush golf courses, water sports, mountain trekking, hunting, birdwatching and kitesurfing.
