L'Aventure du Sucre

Really well organised museum. Not only explaining the history and processing of sugar cane, but also general history of Mauritius. We were really impressed by the audio guide too, explaining a good amount of detail. If you visit one museum then it should be this one! The restaurant on site is great for a lunch or drink after your visit too

My wife and I had a free day, so we decided to go to this museum. We were pleasantly surprised at how nice it is! We spent a lot of time reading about the history of sugar in Mauritius. Very interesting! The old, converted factory had much of the same equipment used from back in the day. Very cool to see up close. And it was very kid friendly! Great place to take the family. Once you’ve followed the path and reached the end, you go through the museum store where you can sample various types of sugar and try different Mauritian rums. Whew! Really strong! Overall, we really liked the museum and would highly recommend it if you’re on the north side of Mauritius. Well worth the $26.50/adult we paid for admission.

This was an amazing experience! There is so much information about the history of Mauritius and of sugar. We stayed much longer than planned to see it all. The size of the facility and the machines is great, you can see everything and you can even do a sugar tasting and taste the sugar cane itself. Don't leave Mauritius without coming here!

Great history lesson at the distillery! Worth the trip and tastings. My one recommendation would be to have more variety of the smaller bottles to buy.

Really interesting place to be at if you are traveling to Mauritius. This takes you through the whole journey of sugar processing from farm to home with detailed explanations of the process. Also this gives you the clear idea about how the sugar industry in Mauritius evolved with the time . Also there are souvenir shops where you can buy sugar based sweets or alcohol which are unique to this part. If you want you can taste samples before select.Also this provides space for you to dine with families or friends with a great restaurant. The staff is friendly and supportive. Food is ok and place is clean and well maintained. You need to buy a ticket to enter this place and it includes tasting as well

It is a wonderful place...and all equipment makes a story The panel of information is both in English and France so it is easy to understand. They provide a guide too if you pay extra but without a guide it is also easy for you to understand the museum A very recommended place to visit when you are in Mauritius

I visited L'Aventure du Sucre with mixed expectations, thinking it would be a simple rum tasting experience. But I was pleasantly surprised to discover a richly preserved piece of history housed in a beautifully appointed and curated museum. The exhibits expertly told the story of the island's sugar industry, and I found myself engrossed in the history and culture. The rum tasting was also a highlight, with a variety of flavours to sample. The rum was top-notch, and I appreciated the opportunity to learn about the production process. Overall, L'Aventure du Sucre exceeded my expectations, offering a unique blend of history, culture, and rum. The museum is a must-visit for anyone interested in the island's heritage, and the rum tasting is a delightful bonus. I would highly recommend this destination to anyone looking for a memorable experience. The combination of history, education, and indulgence makes for a fantastic outing.

Brilliant museum, very engaging and interesting. Lots of information and displays that are informative and well set out. Additional information boards are available along the way for those wanting much more printed information and text. Displays in both French and English. Well worth a visit, would definitely recommend.
