Cultural History in the Wider Destination of Pamplemousses
In the wider destination of Pamplemousses, L’Aventure du Sucre is a distinct cultural highlight. The interactive museum is housed in a former sugar cane factory. Its exhibition explores the history of Mauritius and the island’s close connection with sugar cane. It covers the importance of sugar in the past and present, as well as its production, harvesting and processing, and the history of the global sugar trade. This creates a thematic journey from sugar cane and processing to global trade.
Examples of past temporary exhibitions include Mauritian photographic art, as well as food and hunger. These topics broaden the focus beyond the sugar industry and show the range of subjects covered.
Architectural and commemorative history are also part of Pamplemousses’ cultural themes. The Church of St. Francis of Assisi was built in 1735 in honour of the governor of Isle de France, François Mahé de Labourdonnais, and the wealthy settlers of the time. An old cemetery lies near St Francois D’Assises Church, where several graves are classified as historic monuments. The grave of Buonavita, Napoleon’s chaplain, is located there; this grave is also classified as a historic monument.
