Château de Labourdonnais, Colonial mansion in Mapou, Mauritius
The restored Château de Labourdonnais features decorated rooms with vintage furnishings, reflecting the architectural style of 19th-century Mauritius estates.
Built in 1856, this colonial residence belonged to the same Mauritian family for over 150 years before being transformed into a cultural heritage site.
The estate includes exhibitions about local traditions, a distillery producing Mauritian rum, and gardens containing fifty varieties of mango trees.
Visitors can explore the mansion, taste local products at La Table du Château restaurant, and purchase regional specialties at La Boutique store.
The estate houses giant Aldabra tortoises in its gardens and maintains an animal farm with various local species for educational purposes.
