Mahebourg
Mahebourg is a small city located on the southeastern part of the island of Mauritius. It is also the capital of the Grand Port District.
Named after Mahe de Labourdonnais, one of the most famous and successful governors during the French colonial period, the area was originally built by the Dutch during their initial period of colonisation.
Mahebourg was chosen due to their close proximity to their landing port, had ample water supply from many rivers and streams and had a scenic view of the large bay area.
Dutch and French Colonial Past
The streets in the old section of Mahebourg still bear proof to this Dutch and French colonial past. When the French chose Port Louis as the main port, Mahebourg declined into a sleepy coastal city.
Mahebourg's past is still preserved till present day in the Historical Naval Museum which brings back memories of the epic naval battles of the past between the French and British Navies. The Dutch historical museum in Grand Port recounts the early dutch settlement of the island.
Busy Center Of Local Trade
At the present day, Mahebourg is a busy center of local trade. Memorable walks along the waterfront complex and also a casino shows that the city is developing its tourism industry more and more.
The no of small inns in the city is growing in numbers and also in the surrounding districts which cater for both local and foreign visitors.
