Mahebourg Village
Overview
Mahebourg is one of the main fishing villages on the island. It was built along the shores of the bay of Grand Port. Founded in 1804 by the French Governor Charles Decean, Mahebourg witnessed the only naval victory of Napoleon over the English in 1810. This quiet and peaceful village carries a rich history which shaped the future of the island. The village of Old Grand Port is known as the cradle of the island’s colonization as the first settlement of Mauritius by the Dutch took place in that area.
