Grand Baie, île Maurice : le guide complet du quartier
Grand Baie est le hub touristique du nord de l'île Maurice — mais deux rues derrière l'artère principale, c'est encore un village de pêcheurs. Où dormir, se baigner, manger, et comment y aller sans voiture.
Where to stay
Skip the big resorts and stay in a garden guesthouse like La Case Bambou — five minutes' walk from La Cuvette beach, Creole breakfast included, and hosts who plan your whole itinerary.
