Visit Maison Euréka, Mauritius
Maison Euréka is a preserved Creole mansion outside Moka. The house is also a hotels and spa and is set against mountains in a tropical garden with access to waterfalls on the Moka river gorges. It's worth taking the walk down to the small but nice waterfall. For the waterfall make sure to have good shoes and mosquitoe repellent.
After the battle of Valmy, François Alexis Le Clézio, ship owner from Lorient, Britanny, left France to meet his brother in India. On his way, he stopped in Mauritius, at the time named Isle de France. During his voyage, François came to know some famous privateers of his time: 'Dutertre', 'Le Tellier', 'Le même' (who was the captain of the ship 'La Fortune') and the well known Robert Surcouf.
François Alexis has four children. Eugène, one of his sons converts his father's office into an attorney's office. He is later successful in acquiring the property of Eurêka from an english man nammed Robinson. François Alexis Le Clézio dies at Euréka and many more generations were born there. Sir Eugène, chief justice and Sir Henry, attorney and member of the Legislative Assembly both lived at Euréka.
