Grand Baie

Grand Baie could be the best example of the cultural and racial integration in Mauritius. We had the opportunity to visit several times. From the bay we had a tour to Isla Gabriel. I say "had" because on the day it had to be cancelled due to high winds at sea, it was too dangerous for the catamarans to take us there. So we went back the next day, and it was worth it as its a lovely place. The bay should be a dream, but the town is a little bit too touristy, even though it retains some Mauritian flavour. One thing we loved is that on the main street there's a beautiful Christian church, a Muslim mosque and a picture that seems to emerge from the sea for the Hindus to pray at.
