Visit Pamplemousses Botanical Garden in Mauritius To the north of the capital, in the interior of the island is the Pamplemousses Botanical Garden. In front of its main gate, a Christian church has been built which professors how multi-fastened at culture and religion are here. On Mauritius, we can find catholic and protestant churches as well as Muslim mosk, Chinese progoduse and Buddhist chimes. We can imagine how many different religious and secular celebrations are held here. The Christian New Year is soon followed by the Chinese one. The Tamils most colorful holiday is Cavadi in February. In March, 300,000 Hindu go on a pilgrimage to Saint Lake. In April, the Creo celebrate the holiday of Ugadi while Christians celebrate Easter.

At the 1862 London worlds fair, Prince Albert awarded the main prize for the wrought iron gate of the parks main entrance. The history of the 24 hectare park dates back to as far as 1768. The [Foreign Language] residence which is still standing in the park came under the ruling of Pierre Poivre in those times. The French explorer's collection consisting of rare tropical plants soon became known worldwide. The garden was name after a type of grape fruit which the Tamio's called bamboo mass. There are 80 kinds of palm trees here alone but we can find ebony, teak and mahogany trees, ferns, bamboos, monkey bread trees and mango as well. The orchids and flamingo flowers are especially colorful. Several kinds of fruit trees have been planted which play an important role in local gastronomy together with vegetables and spice plants. Several heads are stayed in prime minister's planted trees while visiting here. The trees indicated by small green signs are at friend of the colonial style buildings, Chateau de Mon Plaisir where official receptions are held. A statue of its former owner and founder Pierre Poivre stands nearby on the shore of a small lake. Two other monuments are also worth mentioning. The names of those who did a lot of for the flora and font of the island are chiseled on a white marble obelisk. We find Gerald Durrell's name's here as well. The other important monument is a statue of the famous French writer Jacques-Henri Bernardin de Saint-Pierre. His romantic love story served and shaping the reputation of the tiny island. Published in 1788, the novel has been translated into all major languages and it's always sided as the Romeo and Juliet story of the 18th century. Paul and Virginie are brother and sister whom their mother raised alone. To her dismay, she observed that their relation was slowly turning into love. In order to separate them, she sent her daughter to a French boarding school. In her desperation, Virginie sailed with the Saint-Geran sailboat which went around at cape Malouri. Paul who saw all this, tried to save his love but the virtuous girl didn't want to take off her clothes which pulled her into the deep. Paul's heart was broken. Whether the story was true or not, we don't know supposedly the only truth is that a sailboat at the same name suffered a tragedy in which two ladies drown because they didn't want to take off their clothes. Other say, that Virginie's real tomb stands here in the Pamplemousses Botanic Garden. Which ever version is true, it's certain that streets and hotels have been named after the characters of the tragic story. They have a monument in Port Louis and countless is the number of those souvenirs featuring them. The novel is available in 30 languages in the bookshops of the capital. The malicious Mark Twain's said, this is the greatest and the only work that is ever been written about the island of Mauritius. The most spectacular part of the garden is the water lily pond where circularly use of unbelievable size called Victoria Amazonica float with white and pink flowers scattered between. We can also see some native's species of animals such as antelopes and giant turtles which are everywhere. We can recall Mark Twain's classical record of his journey, the following the equator in which he writes "You get the idea that Mauritius was created first and then heaven and then heaven was copied after Mauritius".
