Thanks very much for watching and for all of your support.
Mauritius is truly beautiful and magnificent.
Lovely to see Mauritius again.
I love this place.
Woah you make great videos about my Island. Bringing forth it's Amazing Value. Rarely recognised and appreciated by the Natives unfortuuuunately! My South African colleagues will absolutely LOVE your RUclips channel! Thank you! 😊
❤💙💛💚
Thanks very much for sharing! So glad you're enjoying the vids. :)
I recently started playing scrabble online with a lady who lives in Mauritius. So I've been learning about Mauritius, and finding your vlogs has been great. I feel transported to paradise.
Thanks so much for watching. I'm glad you're enjoying my videos of this beautiful island.
There are some 22 Volcanes in Mairitius, namely: Forbach, Mont Virer, Butte aux Papayes, The Mount, Mont Piton, Mont William, La Nicolière, Volcan l'Escalier (at Nouvelle Découverte), Bar Le Duc, Mont Alma, Mont Verdun, Butte Chaumon, Volcan Malherbes, Trou aux Cerfs, Curepipe Point, Trou Madame Bouchet at Mont Perruche, Trou Kanaka, Trou Raoul, Grand-Bassin, Volcan Bois-Chéri, volcan Les Mares, and Bassin Blanc.
Wow, I never knew that. Looks like I've got some more exploring to do :)
You will see that they all align in a straight line, starting from the north to the south. There is a place in the south, where you can see the traces of lava on volcanic rocks.
There is one person whom you need to meet, Mr. Prem Suddul, he can give you a lot of information on the creation of the island by volcanic activities which occured in three different stages.
The others don't have craters, do just look like hills
Well done Lucy, you have taken me to a place in Mauritius that I didn't even know about ------ I've been going there for 40yrs!
Keep up your good work. We enjoy your films, especially during Covid restrictions.
Glad I'm showing you places you didn't know about. Good luck in lockdown. I reckon that's coming here too (at some point).
Marvelous video ! Incredible..I am impressed. I am mauritian and it is shame I still don’t know many places in Mauritius !! Looking forward to come back to the country to explore !! Thanks keep up the great videos !
So much to explore here. You indeed should come back.
Its such a pity nearly 90% of mauritians havent been to kanaka crater ! N yet it forms such a big part of the history of our island! The government should have atleast since long build good roads so that maximum persons can visit this beautiful place. There are none or few signs ...Sadly it has been left in the shadows...we could have many tourists here
Vimal Boodhram Absolutely right! It’s a beautiful place and well worth a visit. Maybe one day more value will be placed on this natural wonder.
I think it should be left like that. We don't want another wave of litter/ destruction. Look at the state of our beaches versus the underdeveloped south. We don't need another rich owner opening a case Creole thingy there. Nice video and sharing video like these is enough for us in the name of preservation.
They could sign-post it a bit better. We drove thru the tea region last week and saw a sign, turned off, and the road stopped! Nothing, not even signs where to continue on foot..
Gonna be in Mauritius in March. Cant wait to get away from the hectic Johannesburg lifestyle and just kick back . Will check out all the places u mention in your videos .
Great work keep it up .
jayesh lakha You’ve picked a great place to kick back! Enjoy your time on the island!
@@LucyLeheilleix we gonna be in the east coast for a week .if you dont mind do you have Any tips you could share with us that's not mentioned on any of you videos or forums ? Safety ?Best car hire ? Hidden gems ? Etc.
jayesh lakha Hey, sure. A few tips: safety - honestly, you’re coming from Jhb, so there’s nothing to worry about other than just being sensible (don’t leave your phone, camera laptop lying around...) Car hire I would do from the airport directly. On the East I would check out Iles aux cerfs and the nearby waterfall (beware of tourists!) also La Cambuse beach and Point D’esny. On the South Le Morne and Pomponette are very picturesque. The west: check out Flic en Flac for snorkeling, Iles aux Benitiers and head up North to the more vibey Grand Bay. Enjoy!
@@LucyLeheilleix awesome thanks so much for your speedy feed back . 😀will check them out
These are really great video's, my mum is from Mauritius and lives in the UK now, these have been great for her to see. Really great insight and quality. Keep it up.
Reyadh Mallam-Hassam So Happy that you are enjoying my videos!
Thanks for sharing this place! I have lived in Mauritius for more than 6 years but only know this place after watching ur video.
Only a pleasure!
When you find some time, there is a tamil temple on the main road in Montagne Ory. There are two pillars at its gate with stone carvings having a stone ball that can revolve freely in between " stone fingers ". Good Luck .
I was in mauritius last week had I known, I did visit the curepipe crater
Thank you Lucy for the video on Trou Kanaka..i've been there for a couple of time in my school days.Really beside the dormant crater itself the greenery view dominates the region..an unspoiled natural beauty which appeals to the eyes.
If have'nt yet discovered the Bassin Blanc crater i recommend you to have a visit there since it is more easily accessible by vehicular means.It is beside the asphalted road on the right along Petrin to Surinam.
Thanks for this tip. This excursion to Trou Kanaka really remains one of the highlights of my time here on this beautiful island. Take care during these tough times.
Excellent vlogs!! Mireille and Arlette
Thanks very much for watching.
I visited trou aux cerfs when i was in grade 4 as part of school trip
That's a great school trip!
Like like like it! A lot! Your film crew is wonderful :) xxx
I'm training them early on. Hoping to retire soon! :)
Thank you so much for this amazing view of old Trou Kanaka. As commented down here, it is sad that this part of Mauritius is almost inaccessible. And sad too to reckon that we give little attention to our geological past, just a few paragraphs in our primary geography book. Can you imagine how a guided tour for our school children, to a few interesting places like this one can help awaken a deep respect for the natural beauty of our Mother Earth? That feeling can become the very basis of our spiritual experience, arousing the sense of being one with all that exist. I can sense this in you showing a magnificent tree, or a nice flower on your way to the top! Thank you again.
Thanks for this lovely comment. I have come to love Mauritius because there is so much more than just the luxury hotels and beaches (as are advertised in the holiday brochures). I do feel very strongly that more conservation needs to be done so that this island can be preserved better (the Seychelles seem to be on the right track). This crater and the pyramids have been two of my absolute favorite discoveries on the island. I do hope that more positive environmentally friendly initiatives are on the horizon so that this place can continue to be beautiful for generations to come.
@@LucyLeheilleix You are welcome to our lovely island, with your family! I have become your fan, I should say! I am also very sensitive to my surrounding, and thanks to my uncle who was my mentor during my childhood, I never miss taking my camera where ever I go! I did buy a Nikon AS reflex camera years back and now I just use a light Fuji digital camera to immortalize existence in multiple fractions of a second, for my pleasure! But the love for Mother Nature should be awakened in others. I feel really sad some times when I witness how much harm mankind has done to her, and to so many other lovely beings who share this planet. So thank you so much for participating, with your photographic creativity, in the same sense. I too have assembled a few of my best moments on Earth into short videos on youtube. It is my pleasure to invite you to watch them when you find some time! Hope your knee is back in good shape. My best wishes to you and family. Hello to your two cute ladies! They add some fun into your creations!
You made such a wonderful video.
Thank you so much! I need to go back to this place as I love it so much.
Great video. Keep doing this good job.
Thanks very much. I’m glad you enjoyed it.

I'm born here and I'm watching here in Mauritius right now in grand bai
Hello! Glad you're enjoying the videos.
fun fact:maybe trou kanaka is a dormant volcano like trou aux cerfs! another fun fact:trou aux cerfs is the volcano mostly at the ends of the vidoe
Super
gorakha touch Thanks! This was such a great discovery.
Such a treat to have found this place. Let me know if you've been there, or intend going.
Bien Jolie
solidsnake Merci!
Have been thinking about going there but have not till now. Definitely doing that once the weather gets a little better! Love the videos btw
You really have to take a look at this place. The walk to the crater is also superb, but i agree - wait until it gets a little cooler as it's way too hot and humid right now. Thanks for checking out my channel :)
Hello guys im from mauritius.. Glad you've enjoyed your time here. Thank you Lucy for those wonderful videos of our island. Hope you come back again and have some quality time with your family and friends. Thank you.
😁 no snakes and tigers here
2:24 the trou 🤣
Hi Lucy, love your videos. Glad you and your family loving life on the island. Saw your girls kidding about snakes. Luckily. there is no snake on the Mauritius as far as I know.
Can I ask what makes you and your family decides to live in Mauritius? Were there other islands you had in mind?
We moved here as my husband was offered an interesting job opportunity. As we love the outdoors (particularly water sports) it really was a no-brainer for us. We've now been here for 3 years.
@@LucyLeheilleix Oh nice. Glad you enjoying your time in Mauritius. Look forward to your next Vlog. Take care.
Hey guys am from Mauritius 🇲🇺😊
Hello from Mauritius! How lucky you are to be born here.
@@LucyLeheilleix 😂😂😂
Me too I went there
Nice place isn’t it!?
💚💙💜
Thanks for watching 🙏
I would luv to go on adventure with u for more adventure
:)
I have never visited that
Totally worth a visit :)
There no snakes or tigers in Mauritius
There are more than 2 craters, Bassin Blanc is another one.
Ah, thanks for letting me know. I’ll definitely have to check that one out.
I really...I mean I really hope the mauritian people collectively decide to list all these places as protected nature reserves and hence be kept away from real estate developers once and for all.
I agree completely. Not enough is done to protect what little nature is left…
Contact if u need a guide
Thanks very much. I certainly will.
Feed gramps a clove of raw garlic everyday, that should keep the mossies away.
Sound advice. I should take some garlic too!
Drones are a nuisance
Yes, they can be. Best to be considerate.
I tried to find Tamarin Falls in 2004 when I was on holiday there, we got lost, could hear the water but didn't know the way, eventually it started getting too dark so we turned back..
Hi Jack! I too have struggled to find certain things here...that waterfall being one of them :) Looking forward to getting out there again soon. All of the best.
@@LucyLeheilleix When I go again I'm definitely going to find it :) It's so beautiful there, as you know. Your videos are great
