L'Aventure du Sucre

In memory of what made the Mauritian economy flourish!
L'Aventure du Sucre or the Sugar Adventure! The name of the place says it all. This place, where there are large piles of sugar, tells us about the journey of the sugar cane and how it became a pillar that helped the Mauritian economy take off.

During the period of colonization, Mauritius had been recognized as advantageous in view of the large quantity of sugar cane it produced. The island then became a profitable area, and it was exploited. Many sugar factories were being built, as sugar cane gave the island a product that could be exported. Being an old sugar factory, L’Aventure du Sucre is today a museum that attempts to recreate history for the new generation and to remind our elders of good memories. Besides, how can a place of such significance be forgotten? It already was considered as being very important long ago, around the 18th century to be exact. It is still given great but justified merit today. 

Located in Beau Plan, only a few kilometers from Pamplemousses, in the north of Mauritius, it welcomes visitors who come out fully satisfied. There, you can have an idea of the whole process before sugar takes its form as we take it in our tea.. You may also understand how sugar cane was harvested, how it was transported and crushed and the means by which this is all done. Howevery, many questions may remain unanswered this way. It is best to take a walk through the Aventure du Sucre for better understanding. Huge machines, with surprising operations, each contribute in its own way to transform sugar cane into sugar. To this day, being a very appreciated place, L’Aventure du Sucre quickly became a tourist attraction, with restaurants and souvenir shops.
