About Mauritius, you can safely say: "Mal, yes, delete." Indeed, in recent years the island has become one of the most popular places among tourists. Here you can enjoy relaxing on beautiful beaches, appreciate the beauty of the underwater world, go fishing, or you can visit museums, for example, the Mauritius sugar factory.
Sugar Island
As soon as the Dutch colonies appeared in Mauritius, the sugar cane became the main agricultural crop, and the production of sugar was the basis of the state's economy. A powerful impetus to the development of this particular industry was the appearance on the island of slaves and the use of their labor. When, in Mauritius, the British ruled, sugar was actively exported to England.
Features of the museum
Actually, the L'Aventure du Sucre, which the old sugar factory in Mauritius turned into, will tell you about all this and much more. It will be a mistake to say that it is exclusively devoted to sugar. Rather, the museum tells the story of the island.
It is impossible to get lost here. All exhibition halls are located in such a way that the visitor can understand where to go next. You will learn what stages of sugar production exist, get acquainted with the intricacies of world trade in this product, and just have a pleasant time.
On the first floor of the plant there are paintings, household utensils and other items that tell about the life of slaves and their work. There you can see a film about the island, which shows how it developed from the moment of its appearance. Other halls are devoted directly to the production of sugar and the equipment with which it is carried out.
Information in the museum is presented in different ways: tablets, video and photo materials, interactive sections, so beloved by children. In other words, everyone will find here something interesting for themselves. For children in the museum special assistants are provided - Floris and Raj, they will tell the children all the most interesting about sugar.
On the territory of the plant there is also a store selling sugar-related products and, of course, many varieties of this product. And relax after a walk through the plant can be in the restaurant Le Fangourin, which is located next to the museum.
How to get to the factory?
To get to the sugar factory in Mauritius, you need to go towards Pamplemus Park . Before reaching him, turn left. The road to which you will fall right after the turn, leads just to the sugar factory.
