WittyDonut Mauritius- Vieux Grand Port
Vieux Grand Port- Witness of a historic naval battle: 'Old Grand Port', north of Mahebourg, is the cradle of Mauritian history: the place where the first human inhabitants of the island landed on 9 September 1598 under the command of Wybrandt Van Warwyck. The Dutch later built a fort 3km further north in what is now the town of Vieux Grand Port. It was the local headquarters of the Dutch East India Company until 1710, when the Dutch abandoned the island. The site was then taken over by the French.
