Its culture blends Indian, African, European and Chinese influences, reflected in local languages, music, festivals and cuisine. Life is generally relaxed, with warm weather, beaches, hiking, water sports and a friendly multicultural community. Port Louis is the main business centre, while resort areas such as Trou d’Eau Douce and Belle Mare provide a quieter lifestyle.
