L'Aventure du Sucre

A very good museum to visit on a cloudy day. When entering the premises you are immediately greeted by a few large machines used in the sugar refinery process as well as an old transportation train which was used to transport the sugar in the past. The museum itself charges a fair price and also offers an app which works as an audio/written guide. (depending on which language is selected) The museum itself is presented on multiple levels within the old factory building. It is a nice mix between old machinery (big machinery) and tablets with text and pictures. From my point of view it could be a bit more interactive, but I have to admit there is only so much you can do when it comes to the sugar refinement process. As for the importance of sugar to the isle the museum does a good job interweaving the production process with history. The museum ends with a sugar, jam and , for the adults, rum testing opportunity as well as a gift shop. Depending on how much you are into reading you can spend anywhere from 1,5 to 4 hours in here.

Great place to visit. A fantastic museum in an old sugar factory, it shows the history of Mauritius, which is strongly associated with sugar cane, as well as the importance of sugar in the past and present. There are sugar and rum tastings on the exit side, a gift shop and restaurant .

Highly recommended! Very interesting museum, you ll learn a lot about the history of the country and the sugar industry. You should at least plan 4 hours if you want to have the time to cover most of it. It is fun to read and walk around the machines. Do not miss the degustation (sugar, rhum, jam, honey) and shops at the end. It is nicely set up and there is plenty to try (and buy nice souvenirs!).

If you want to know the history of sugar factories in Mauritius and want to know the process of making sugar you can visit this place .. there is entry fee for the same after the end of tour you are given rum tasting and different sugar tasting which is good

A place where you get to discover the history of Mauritius, not only about the sugarcane industry but so much more. In the end you get to taste a variety of sugar and rum too, it’s a hidden gem, I’m glad we came !

Brilliant day doing both the Sugar Cane cutting and cocktail making. Davina was a brilliant tour guide as well as Alain with his experience in Sugar Cane cutting, a must do. The museum was interesting and had a helpful audio tour downloaded onto your phone. Marie gave us great service at the restaurant too.

Sugar history and Mauritius history are tight together, here you will see how much tight. Great place to visit including sugar tasting, rum tasting.

I loved this place, educational and tasty, very tasty Enormous range of choices, either Rhum or sugar. And lots of different types of souvenirs that will make the delights of your friends and family 😋
