Victoria 1840

Top choice in Mauritius


Worth a look, Victoria 1840 is an old sugar mill that has been lovingly refurbished to house some of the works of Yvette Maniglier, a bewitching French painter who spent a year under the wing of Henri Matisse. The juxtaposition of industrial brick and splashy modern art works surprisingly well. The gallery can only be visited while dining at the in-house restaurant, Le Café des Arts.
