Rault biscuit factory: manioc filling
If you head towards the south of the island, or more precisely, Mahebourg, do not miss out on this biscuit factory as its specialties are not to be found elsewhere.
Being the sole manioc biscuit factory in Mauritius and on the African continent, Rault has continued to make a name for himself since 1870.  Now 83 years old, Mrs Thérèse Sénèque who runs this family business jealously keeps the secret of these biscuits.  With biscuits made of chocolate, butter, milk or coconut, she intends to steam ahead with a recipe that has been developed at length: biscuit with a manioc filling.

Market of Quatre-Bornes : quality textile at low prices
 
In Mauritius, there are, on the one hand, the leading textile companies that export most of their products and on the other hand, there are the small textile shops, set up to satisfy the locals' demands.  The Market of Quatre-bornes is the only place where you'll find all types of clothing and household linens at an affordable price for all budgets.  Hundreds of stalls offer a bit of everything, not only textile.  These products vary from underwear to curtains, cashmere scarves, T-shirts, shirts, and also kitchen utensils and souvenirs of Mauritius. 
This unique market is held every Thursday and Sunday right in the town centre of Quatre Bornes.
