Rémy Ollier was considered an important figure in the island's history. He was a journalist, a teacher and writer back in the 1840s who founded a local paper called the Sentinelle and wrote against the government's politics and the injustice and inequality in rights faced by those of colour on the island, the liberated slaves and indentured labourers. He was born in Grand Port, his father was in the british army I think serving on the island so it's probably why the monument is there. He died when he was quite young too, I think he was like 28 when he died of illness but he made a huge impact. I don't know his full story, just what I learnt earlier on in school.

Oh and those little islands you see off the port used to be one island but they've been broken up now due to rising tides. They each have a name but I can't remember what they are. The British and French used to fight each other on those islands. Explains why the museum's location was convenient as a military station.

Thank you for this one. . . but this wasn't the exact one I was talking about. The guy had an ice block that he shaved by hand. This one is with a mechanical device - although handmade but not hand-handmade. LOL. If I recall you were eating fresh Sev (spelling?) and I think yall were talking about werewolves and such. . .

Once again you have given some Interesting information this time about the city of Mahebourg thank you so much. You do a lot of walking getting up close to places many people will not get to see and from the comments of people who have left Mauritius they seem happy for the memories you conjure up. As always I am looking forward to your next video.
