Riviere Du Rempart: Church and Golf

Riviere Du Rempart offers two specifically described themes for planning a trip: a visit to Notre Dame Auxiliatrice church in Cap Malheureux and golf in the district. They appeal to different interests. If you are looking for a hotel, first consider whether a cultural visit or golf will be the focus of your trip.

Church and golf for different interests

Visitors can enter Notre Dame Auxiliatrice church to attend a Mass or see the holy water font made from a giant seashell. The font is a distinctive detail of the site; a possible visit combines it with a religious occasion. Those interested in sacred places can consider these two aspects together. The church therefore offers a clear point of reference for travelers who want to include a church visit in their plans.

One sporting option in the district is The Nine at Azuri Golf. The course has nine holes and is designated a par-3 golf course; it is located near the northeast coast of Mauritius. Par 3 refers to the number of strokes set as the standard for a hole. Together with the number of holes, this describes the course format. If golf is important to your travel plans, check current operations before departure.

Nature in the wider context of a trip to Mauritius

Beyond the district, Mauritius offers other nature-related attractions. Bras-d’Eau National Park is in the northeast of Mauritius. On 25 October 2011, it was declared the country’s second terrestrial national park; it covers an area of 497.2 hectares. The area is predominantly planted with mahogany, araucarias, Tecoma and eucalyptus. These details give a concrete picture of the park’s vegetation and size.

Mare Sarcelle is part of Bras-d’Eau National Park and is home to mangroves, native plant species and several migratory bird species. On Mauritius, the Coq des Bois Trail also runs through the forest and ends at Mares Chevrettes. The trail describes a specific route; Mare Sarcelle represents a natural area with mangroves and bird species. Together, these island facts show different aspects of nature, from named plants to a trail with a set endpoint.

History and other island themes

The Le Morne Cultural Landscape is located at the southwestern tip of Mauritius and was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List on 10 July 2008. It illustrates the history of slavery in Mauritius and the pursuit of freedom in the 17th and 18th centuries. The mountain served as a fortress and refuge for escaped enslaved people; physical and oral evidence documents this use. Le Morne thus offers a historical point of reference that differs from the specific visitor and sporting themes in Riviere Du Rempart.

Another historical point of reference is Vieux Grand Port, which is considered the site of the first human settlement in Mauritius. The Le Morne Cultural Landscape and Vieux Grand Port therefore tell different chapters of the island’s history. For a nature perspective, there is Blue Bay Marine Park, with a species-rich marine ecosystem and a diverse coral community. Dhollpuri and roti are among Mauritians’ favorite dishes. Together, these examples offer another glimpse of history, the sea and cuisine in Mauritius.

Getting around Mauritius

Bus services operate in various regions of Mauritius and make it possible to travel to nearly all parts of the island. If you plan to use buses during your trip, check current routes and schedules. This lets you distinguish general travel around Mauritius from your specific hotel and visitor plans for Riviere Du Rempart.
