 We
have reached L’Etoile, the sanctuary of exclusive trips
into the greenwood of Mauritius, where nature has been protected
in a wonderful fashion.
Indigenous forest, lush valleys, crystalline sources and
rivers stretch towards distant mountains, with the Indian
seas as a backdrop, in a ballet of changing light and shade,
as the hours go by.
 To
admire the birds, deer and other animals that roam amidst
these vast expanses of land a gamut of possibilities is offered
to the visitor: archery, biking, with or without guide and
motorized circuits by Quad or 4x4.
4X4
This day trip is a flashback into the past. Amazing scenery
gives way to visits to coffee and vanilla plantations. Lunch
is served during a stopover at Falaise Rouge, with its magnificent
view over the eastern islets.
 L’Etoile
Thatched, stones and ‘ravenala’ provide enchanting
surroundings for a warm welcome.
Our table d’hôte, at Falaise Rouge or at L’Etoile,
offers a harmonious combination of Mauritian authenticity
and gastronomy.
 According
to the selected outing, three outstanding features are part
of these timeless breaks:
• Step into the vanilla world, a scented creeper which
grows by hanging other plants. You will also discover a gallery
with interesting photos and texts.

started around the year 1800

you will be acquainted with the chronology of this battle
through prints and writings.
