The capital and main harbor of Mauritius, Port Louis was founded by Mahé de Labourdonais in 1735. Around the main site, the Place d'Armes, several buildings of French colonial style can be found, namely the Government House, the Supreme Court and a history museum and the Municipal theatre all built during the 18th century. Port Louis also has two beautiful cathedrals, one Protestant and the other Catholic.
Around the town at the foot of the mountains is the racetrack, however, the best view is from the Fort Adelaide, a strong citadel in the era of William IV. The waterfront offers a variety of entertainment including shopping, eating, cinema and theatres. To the south of Port Louis, you'll find Le Reduit, a colonial residence surrounded by superb gardens, built by the French for the Governors of that period. From Port Louis you can go to Beau Bassin, Rose Hill, Quatre Bornes and Vacoas.
