BOTANICAL GARDEN
Various exotic and endemic species of the Mascarene Islands in a botanical garden in Curepipe.
For a breath of chlorophyll, go to the Botanical Garden of Curepipe, less rich and much smaller than the Garden of Pamplemousses (2 ha against 37), but the green lung of the city. Decorated with a bandstand from the Victorian era, it was laid out in 1870 by descendants of French settlers to grow plants unsuitable for the high temperatures of the coast. Numerous exotic and endemic species of Mascarenes were planted there, including, protected by a metal structure, the world's last specimen ofhyophora amaricaulis (palm tree).
