A CLOSER LOOK
Meet the place.
Start where the city meets the harbour. At Caudan, pedestrian lanes bring together shops, terraces, craft stalls and the Blue Penny Museum. The familiar canopy of umbrellas is one small part of a waterfront that rewards a slower look.
Look beyond the shop windows to the working port across the water. The waterfront’s contemporary life sits alongside traces of the docks and the maritime trade that shaped Port-Louis. It makes a useful starting point before moving into the older streets.
Before you go
The waterfront, shops and museum have different opening arrangements. Check the venue you intend to visit rather than assuming one timetable applies to everything.
