The small building with white walls and a red roof faces the azure Indian Ocean and is a highly popular spot for photos on postcards and travel brochures of Mauritius. Green lawns support the red roof, with the blue sea and a long coastline behind it. Standing next to the church, you can also look out over northern offshore islands like Coin de Mire. This Catholic church, built in the late 1930s, is small in scale. Its interior wooden structure is finely crafted, with pews painted in a red that echoes the roof, and a holy water font made from a giant seashell at the entrance that is quite ingenious.Cap Malheureux · 5.8 km from Grand Gaube

The weather in Maoqiu is so good, the sky is always blue, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. This is the famous red-roofed church⛪️, but it was not open at the wrong time. But the guide said that this was the only port in Maoqiu.

The Solar Undersea Walk at Deer Island in Mauritius is an underwater sport that is worth experiencing. You can wear a diving suit or a diving mask like a space suit and walk freely on the seabed to enjoy the feeling of weightlessness. In addition, the colorful corals on the seabed will definitely attract you. It is really a beautiful and wonderful world.

Port Louis, the central area of Mauritius, is quite lively, and the harbor is particularly romantic. Strolling around here to enjoy the beautiful scenery, and then visiting the shopping center where there are shops selling souvenirs and handicrafts, offers a unique experience!

It is the collective name of three islands. Mauritius is full of islands and beauty. You can go hiking on the islands and find many interesting things. You can also go diving. It is very enjoyable here. There are many holy places for snorkeling. My favorite is Gunnars Island. It is an outer island, so it is a bit far to come here, but the scenery is absolutely first-class.
