thank you for showing Mauritius at its best. you are good people. I send all my respect.
Our pleasure! Thank you
Thanks for the great video. Missing my hometown! You both looked great in the hats.
Glad you enjoyed it! we should have got the hats
Thanks that was great it’s where my auntie lives love it unfortunately too many high buildings are now blocking the views from the mountains
Glad you enjoyed it, yes the views are disappearing.
Hi Bryan
I am enjoying your videos . I am not a Mauritian but my grandfather was one. He was from La Savanne. It would be great if you could visit and video the place .
Great suggestion! We will try
Quatre-Bornes name is from the 4 stones ( bornes) which marked the limits of the place in rhe 18th century . And Orchard Centre dates from the 90 's .
Thanks for the great info, do you know where the stones are?
@@BryanDiscoversWorld . Nope , it's long gone . Probably nothing great about them , just stones to limit the area.
My wife was born there. Beautiful place. Thanks for the video 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
A superb town with superb people the best place to live neither too hot nor too cold.
It is a great place
Mdr…
I am from Quatre Bornes but now in Dubai. I miss my hometown so much
You are welcome, come home soon.
Thank u for showing
My pleasure 😊
Very well captured... Love the insights!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you again Riki and Brian ,my friend live at la rue poivre just down the road.
Our pleasure!

Awesome! Thank you!
My town. Great video!! Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Woah Quatre bornes my town where i was born injoy Riki and Brian 👍 get some Alloudah and Dolpury and gato pima 😊
Sounds great!
Thank you sir for showing us in detail the place where i spent 2 years.
My pleasure
I am from a place called Tallaght, a suburb of Dublin, Ireland, but I lived here for a year and a half and looking at your video, it is making me miss this place more than ever, I will return and this time probably stay there, thank you for the cool video showing all the updates and new developments there!
Very cool! It is a great place to stay
The deep fried street food looks epic. Riki's hat is the best :)
it was, and she does look good in a hat
The hat looks good on you. need one because of the strong sun lol The gato piment and samosas are delicious. I missed them dearly !!!!!!!!
Thanks so much. We need hats,
Great videos😊👍
Thank you
Hi Bryan and Riki - you should buy those hats.... 😍👍
Yes, after the price gets lower😁
@@BryanDiscoversWorld Absolutely correct. The price was ridiculously high. Rs200.00 and not a cent more!!
Orchard Centre was quite a revolution when it opened, now it's one of the least appealing malls. The nicest parts of Quatre Bornes are the residential areas away from the centre and bus station.
I agree, sad how it has gone down. I do love heading out into the quieter areas.
Superb
Thanks 🤗
Loved those hats, the market looked so clean and the church was beautiful plus the mountains behind. I wonder if all the grey stone they used for building is basalt? You must both be getting so fit because you are doing a lot of walking. I am enjoying 'walking' along with you from my chair. Thanks so much for another interesting tour.
You are welcome, the stone is basalt (info from Riki) My clothes are getting looser 😁
My native town.. Normally, stores are opened also on Sundays till afternoon. Umbrella businessman was brillant. When my umbrellas were broken, by 2,3 times trying to repair, they were trashed 😂. The 4 cites linked to Quatre Bornes : Beau Bassin /Rose Hill and Vacuas/ Phoenix. Quatre Bornes is very known for good practitioners, doctors and lawyers.
It's a dying art, glad I found him, he's repairing one of mine😁
I found this about Quatre Borne etymology: An ordinance, passed in 1895 and adopted in 1896, resulted in the creation of the "Town of Quatre Bornes". The name "Quatre Bornes" (which means four boundary stones in French) probably owes its name to a map drawn by Descubes in 1880, in which he set the boundary stones (bornes) of Palma, Bassin, Trianon, and Beau Séjour. One historian suggested that the "bornes" rather delimited the three districts of Plaine Wilhems, Moka and Black River. It is also claimed that in 1761 two land owners, Mr Mabille and Mr Desveaux were having land problems. Their case was referred to as "Le cas des Quatre Bornes". W. Edward, in 1921, explained that four boundary stones used to delimit the intersections between the roads crossing Vacoas and Bassin/Palma, and La Louise and the Balisage separating the land property of La Louise, and Beau Séjour. Some also claim that Quatre Bornes owes its name to a "commune" in France. A few landmarks in the history of Quatre Bornes.
Wow, you have started reading the history now. What is great is that we still don't know the real answer, although I like the 4 road one myself.
@@BryanDiscoversWorld, I was hoping to see a fourth mountain...or even a hill haha
@@amandastakeonit7402 Riki was convinced there would be
The spire of Notre Dame de Rosaire was hit by lightning a few years back. I live about 1 Km from the church and the sound was deafening even from that distance.
Wow, that sounds scary.
My town!! Missing it badly 😢
It is great
You have missed two well known schools of Mauritius , Saint Esprit college and the loretto Convent . The later used to have a magnificent creole building which was been pulled down . But you can still go to Saint Esprit college for it's great mansory architecture . And on the foot of Corps de Garde mountain where is a epic Tamil temple .
I really have to come back and do a part 2. Thank you so much for all your great comments.
There is only a little shrine " Notre Dame du grand pouvoir" not very far the Orchard Centre .
@@BryanDiscoversWorld you definitely need to come for part 2 , a lot more u missed as the hospital ,hillcrest drive , nice views from sodnac ,tamil temple ,spicy crab soup of mamou snack...more more .dont come too early. good things starts as from 10 (with traffic)even in st jean the cemetery is huge and st jean church is nice too with a beautiful shrine to visit
There is st joseph collge , with the st marie in the middle and the chapel
Yip, we have to do a part 2.
Hey bryan and Riki i reside in Mauritius in surinam the south most of Mauritius you should visit here
We are planning a trip
I know that some people might not get it, but I LOVE that you mention bathroom posibilities and qualities. Until watching this channel. I had never heard of paying to go to the bathroom, but I also didn't know they would do a tour thing and take you to a day trip on an island and not have bathrooms!! I appreciate every time you mention bathrooms so I know to be prepared. Also, I had head of haberdasheries but didn't know what they were, until Riki informed me on another video. I learn a lot while I read but am limited by what the author choses to share.
Wait, if I go, it will be in July! Can I still get a bus ;)
Things Riki finds important, toilets
Bus run for 7am to 7pm everyday except when there is a cyclone
Quatre Bornes SSS My school!
Very Nice Video!
Thanks! Do you have robot teachers from the future?😁😂😂
@@BryanDiscoversWorld hehe maybe 😂😂
@@poonumookhy2103 HAHAHAHAHA
@@BryanDiscoversWorld you like my school
The red stone shop , was where the chinese community used to come to ask for good fortune from a chinese saint .
Wow, that's so cool

It is a great town

@@BryanDiscoversWorld haha almost that looks like an election protest for the chaotic part ! But Quatre Bornes is known for its peace and most stable weather condition across the island ! You do a good job though Brian :)
