A hillside village in southwest Mauritius surrounded by coffee plantations, sugarcane and forested slopes. It is the gateway to the Seven Coloured Earths and the island's tallest single-drop waterfall, and its rum distillery runs tastings amid the cane fields. Restaurants here are known for Creole table d'hôte cooking with views to the coast.
