Mahébourg is one of the main town in the
southern region of Mauritius. A historic town and one of
the main fishing centres, it was once a busy port. Although
there is not much tourist development here, there is a Naval
Museum housed in the French colonial mansion where in 1810
the English and French naval commanders, both wounded in
battle, were brought to be given medical care. A handicraft
village built in typical island architecture is found in
the premises of the museum.
