Stop At: L'Aventure Du Sucre, B18 Pamplemousses MU, Pamplemousses, Mauritius 21001

Once lusted after as much as gold, as much sought after as Indian spices, as sweet on the palate as silk is round a woman’s neck, sugar has enjoyed an extraordinary existence, leaving a profound impression on the history and identity of Mauritius. Travelling through the museum, visitors learn about the deeply intertwined history of sugar and Mauritius, how it has all led to the harmonious, smiling and multicultural society it is today.

Visited here whilst on honeymoon as we had been recommended it by a few people. Firstly this place is huge and filled with a lot of information. You could visit here and not need to visit any other museum on the island. With that said though it is a lot of text to read so plan your time wisely as you could spend the day reading absolutely everything. At the end of the museum path is a gift shop and a rum section which we looked forward to however if you’re driving keep in mind you won’t be able to taste them all. We had excellent service by the gentleman at the bar. Would recommend.

A very well laid out self guided tour. Very interesting story and significantly more about the history of Mauritius than I expected. Very interesting and engaging place. I would recommend improving the cooling inside. It was extremely hot and sticky inside.

Small coach tour with an excellent guide. Fascinating factory with a very well written story of the island. Although no longer functioning you get close up to the (UK made) machinery. The visit also included a sugar tasting (now we understand the different sugars!) and of course a rum tasting. It was surpassing just how many different types of rum they produced.

We had been recommended to visit this museum as their restaurant was supposed to be good for lunch and they were not wrong! The museum was interesting, you can download an app to listen to the tour in your chosen language but it is very long so I skipped through a few chapters. You can taste rum and sugar in the shop afterwards which had a wide variety of such products to buy but they were not cheap (like everything else in Mauritius). The restaurant was well worth the drive, it was lovely. We had lunch quite early (around noon) as we’d finished our tour which was handy as quite a few tables were already booked. The crime brûlée was one of the best I’ve ever had, definitely try it.
