Curepipe,
sitting atop the high central plateaux of inland Mauritius 12 miles (20km)
from Port Louis, owes its existence to a malaria epidemic in 1867, when
thousands fled to the healthy, cooler high ground from Port Louis to
escape the mosquitoes. The town is the centre of a spread-out suburban
area, and offers some good shopping opportunities. Its main attraction for
visitors, though, is an extinct volcano, Trou aux Cerfs, west of the town
near the botanical gardens, with a massive wooded crater floor. A road
leads to the rim of the volcano and there are spectacular views from the
summit. Another natural attraction, just four miles (six km) south west of
Curepipe, is the Black River Gorges National Park, home to the rare
tambalacoque tree and a variety of exotic flora and fauna.

Curepipe, en s'assoyant
atop les hauts plateaux centraux de la Maurice intérieure 12 miles (20 kms)
du Port Louis, doit son existence à une épidémie de malaria en 1867, quand
des milliers ont fui à la haute terre en bonne santé, plus fraîche du Port
Louis pour échapper aux moustiques. La ville est le centre d'une
propagation - de la région de banlieue et offre quelques bonnes
opportunités de courses. Son attraction principale pour les visiteurs,
cependant est un volcan mort, Trou aux Cerfs, à l'ouest de la ville près
des jardins botaniques, avec un étage de cratère boisé massif. Une route
cause le bord du volcan et il y a des vues spectaculaires du sommet. Une
autre attraction naturelle, juste le Sud-Ouest (de six kms) de quatre
miles de Curepipe, est les Gorges Noires de Rivière le Parc national, à la
maison à l'arbre tambalacoque rare et à une variété de flore exotique et
de faune.
