Its name meaning straw in English, Pailles hosts an ancient domain and Mauritius’ largest concert and exhibition hall, the Swami Vivekananda Centre.
La Domaine du Pailles has met a similar fate like its namesake at Moka, but its surroundings have been rather more developed, featuring an old sugar mill, excursions by horse drawn carriage or ancient train as well as authentic old style cooking. Riding excursions are also available.
