It was nice to spend a few hours at Le Caudan walking around the umbrella area and we had a good few options where to have lunch. The shopping was good too. There is enough paid parking which was reasonable priced.

We took the Metro Express to get here. We had Pizza Hut there which was good but safety TAPE!? They should've fixed the loose bars or Belal/Candice shouldn't have existed. At Pizza Hut I had a pepperoni pizza and a Fanta. You can see ships, the bulk sugar terminal. Great parking; park on level 3 and get a pay ticket. Be careful you may get pissed off with broken 3 machine.

This was the last stop on a smaller half day multi stop TUI tour. As its at the end of the trip you are left to explore the area and shops. With TUI you are left for 2 an 1/2 hours here before collection and in our experience that about 1 hour too long. After you have looked at the local crafts shops in the mall and had lunch its basically a half empty shopping Centre to wander round. i would have preferred a extra stop somewhere else, or a walk round Port Louis itself ?

A lively waterfront with an ever-changing set of umbrellas, live music, art exhibitions at the Caudan Arts Centre etc. Loved the little shops, coffee shops & sea facing restaurants. This should occupy you for an about an hour. Do walk from here to either China Town or a museum for more sightseeing. Ideal for a peak into the Port Louis waterfront.

We explored Port Louis and spent some time at Le Caudan Waterfront. Inside the mall there were a lot of small businesses selling crafts and all sorts of nick nacks, t shirts, hats, magnets, artworks etc… it was quite interesting looking around and in most places the staff were friendly but I couldn’t get the wifi to work anywhere. My favourite unit in the mall was a guy who made traditional Mauritian drums, (Ravannes)…he had left his shop unattended to go and get some food so we had it to ourselves for a while… he was very cool and when he returned he explained about the Ravanne and how it is played. Outside the mall there are restaurants and cafes to get some refreshments, it was picturesque and modern compared to much of Port Louis. It’s worth checking out when you are in the city.

Our taxi driver brought us here in December and explained a little history about the area and how it has been regenerated. Lots of ships moored in the harbour and a little ferry across to one hotel. Plenty of car parking. Very vibrant area, particularly in the run up to Christmas, with beautifully decorated Christmas trees and decorations. Dropped into a little arcade with handicrafts. All so colourful. Plenty of places to eat and drink but unfortunately we didn't have enough time.

On a less warm day we have visited the Caudan Waterfront at Mauritius. It is close by the central market and the Urban terminal. Both great markets to visit for the experience and souvernir shopping. However don’t forget to bring your bargaining skills as you need them, to get reasonable prices. At the waterfront there are lots of shops and restaurants. We especially enjoyed the craft market in the center
