Port Louis is the capital and main port of Mauritius, located on the island’s northwest coast. This lively city combines colonial heritage, modern business hubs, and vibrant Creole culture. The historic center of Port Louis preserves buildings from the French and British eras, with Fort Adelaide (also known as the Citadel) standing out as a key attraction offering panoramic views of the city and harbor. Nearby is the Port Louis Market, a colorful center of local life where visitors can find spices, fruits, textiles, and handcrafted goods.
The city is also renowned for its museums, including the Mauritius Postal Museum, which displays the island’s first postage stamp — the famous “Blue Mauritius.” In addition to its cultural landmarks, Port Louis offers a wide range of culinary experiences influenced by Indian, Chinese, African, and European traditions. In the evening, the Caudan Waterfront becomes a favorite spot for strolls, shopping, and enjoying the vibrant atmosphere.
Turquoise lagoons, mangrove forests, and the scent of spices in the air — all of this instantly transports you into the atmosphere of Mamoudzou, the administrative center of the island of Mayotte. This town is a vibrant reflection of cultural fusion: French infrastructure blends with Comorian traditions, and mosques stand alongside Creole markets where you can hear Shimaore spoken and buy fresh lobsters.
Mamoudzou attracts travelers looking for an off-the-beaten-path exotic experience: you can go on a marine safari to spot whales and dolphins in a lagoon protected by the world's third-largest coral reef, or simply enjoy the sunset overlooking the neighboring island of Petite-Terre. It’s a place for those seeking a new facet of French overseas romance — wild, authentic, and remarkably warm.
Zanzibar is an archipelago in the Indian Ocean belonging to Tanzania, renowned for its white sandy beaches, turquoise waters, and the ancient Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Historically, the island was an important trading center for spices, slaves, and ivory, leaving a profound mark on its culture and architecture. Strolling through the narrow streets of Stone Town, visitors can admire old Arab houses with intricately carved doors, bustling markets, and atmospheric mosques.
In addition to its rich history, Zanzibar attracts travelers with its natural beauty. Visitors can take a tour of spice farms, snorkel among coral reefs, or explore the unique Jozani Forest, home to the rare red colobus monkey. The combination of exotic culture, a laid-back lifestyle, and diverse natural wonders makes Zanzibar one of the most desirable destinations on the East African coast.

Turquoise waters and lush jungles frame Victoria on Mahé Island, the capital of Seychelles and one of the smallest capitals in the world. Here, colorful markets with exotic fruits and spices blend with colonial-era architecture, and in the city center, you will find a miniature replica of London’s Big Ben — one of Victoria’s symbols. Nearby, visitors can explore the Botanical Garden, home to rare palm and orchid species, and see giant tortoises living in their natural environment.
A journey to Victoria is an opportunity to feel the slow rhythm of Seychellois life and enjoy a truly tropical atmosphere. Strolling along the waterfront, visiting the National Art Gallery, or tasting freshly caught fish in local cafés will bring you closer to the islanders’ culture and everyday life. Just a few minutes from the city center, white sandy beaches and turquoise waters invite you to underwater adventures among Mahé’s coral reefs.
