    Long time ago, things were built to last and that too without modern tools. Impressive!

    Yes this is well worth a visit, so full of interesting historical items, but the storage of water is brilliant.

    Another great video Lucy, thanks. I wonder if any of the soldiers or the officers died and were buried locally? Would be interesting to find out.

      That would be interesting to find out. Thanks Leo.

    Cool museum, Im visiting my family in December so I will definitely visit this. I remember a long while back you made a video on a second hand flee market somewhere, I need some bits and bobs, where abouts was it please?, Im also looking to buy a used mountain bike, nothing fancy something in the region of 5000 MUR any ideas where I could get one? Thanks

    • @LucyLeheilleix

      Try the market in Flacq or Quatre Bornes. For bikes have a look at Facebook: bicycle market Mauritius. Rs10k is a more realistic price though. 😃
