Pθre Laval's Shrine is located northeast
of the town centre at Ste-Croix. Pθre Laval, who was known
as the Lourdes of the Indian Ocean, is said to have converted
more than 67,000 people during his 23 years on Mauritius.
The shrine - a colorful plaster statue atop his tomb is
built in honour of him. Pilgrims swear by the statue's healing
powers and come in droves to touch it.
