Island Books & Clothing Spot

Rodrigues


This small bookshop has a handful of books about Rodrigues and Mauritius, including (while stocks last) the French-language flora and fauna guide to Île aux Cocos and a few Mauritius-related French-language titles from French Nobel laureate JM Le Clezio.

It has a small shop in the departure lounge at the airport where we came across nearly the entire Harry Potter series in English!
