Port-Louis marshes

If you happen to be in Port-Louis - and if you can bare to be pulled from the white sand and turquoise waves of the beaches - stretch your legs and embark on a trail through the marais (or marsh) and discover the mangroves.

The trail crosses the mangroves to reach an observation tower which you can climb to get panoramic views of the Grand Cul-de-Sac Marin and Basse-Terre. This 430 hectare site has been protected by the Conservatoire du Littoral since 1999.
