Rodrigues Island

A little pearl of the Indian Ocean, Rodrigues is a true gem, a pebble full of stories and legends. It is here that the famous pirate Olivier Levasseur, nicknamed La Buse, is said to have buried a mythical treasure in the 18th century, a source of inspiration and mystery. Two essential novels of travel literature, signed J.M.G. Le Clézio — who traveled the island in the footsteps of his grandfather — celebrate this fascinating quest.

But beyond the myths and buried treasures, it is the immutable beauty of Rodrigues that is striking at first glance. An immense lagoon, larger than the land itself, is open to scuba diving and kitesurfing enthusiasts. Alabaster beaches lined with casuarina trees offer an idyllic setting, while the heart of the island is home to a lush forest and the François Leguat nature reserve, a true sanctuary for endemic fauna and flora.

Rodrigues, with its wild and authentic charm, is the natural extension of a trip to Mauritius. A destination in its own right, where time seems to have stood still, preserving intact the splendor of a still secret paradise.
