When to go to Port Louis (Mauritius)?
Port Louis works at market pace: the central market stacks lychees, chillies and bundles of curry leaves, and the stalls around it fry dholl puri all morning. The Caudan Waterfront turns to cafés and shops along the quay, while the Champ-de-Mars, the oldest racecourse in the southern hemisphere, fills on race days. Aapravasi Ghat, by the harbour, is UNESCO-listed.
