Explore Mauritius' Sugar History

Close to Pamplemousses Botanical Garden, an old sugar factory has been converted into a museum dedicated to 250 years of the history of sugar production in Mauritius, wherein lie the foundation of the country's history, the roots of its identity, the basis of its economic development and the island's very soul. The name of the museum means "the adventure of sugar". All along an interactive path that calls to all ages, set between old sugar factory machinery and hedges of sugar cane, the history and story of the sheer "Mauritian gold" unrolls. Two mascots engage the youngest visitors in a game of question and answer throughout the visit. At the end of the itinerary, a tasting of sugar and cane liquor (rum) takes place. After the visitors can go through the Village Boutik for souvenirs and enjoy lunch at Le Fangourin restaurant set in beautiful gardens of the old sugar domain.
