Museum and rum tasting
Meenakshee was one of the staff working on the rum tasting, included within the visit to the sugar factory, she was very helpful with the tasting. The museum is interesting and quite long if you were to read everything, but download the free audio tour and you can listen to it as you go around or after the visit

Unforgettable experience.
The tour lets us discover the history of sugar in Mauritius, but also reveals the history of Mauritius itself. The self-guided tour is very easy thanks to listening to the explanations via the app. The tasting at the end of the tour is a real gustatory discovery. Bravo for this incredible place.
