The island of Mauritius’s most southerly point is known as Gris Gris. There are no reefs here to protect the coast from the strong waves of the Indian Ocean: the sea storms against the coast with all its might, offering a total contrast to the other calm lagoons. There is no other spot on the island where visitors will feel so strongly Mauritius’s secluded location, adrift in the middle of a huge ocean.

Gris-Gris, a light wind sweeps your hair and this immaculate view stuns you – you are facing this sea – so blue – which looks like a beautiful fresco. But where did this region get its name from? No need to let your imagination wander. A placard tells more about this place at the entrance of the spot. It is said that between the barrier reef and the cliffs there is a rock that resembles a nun praying. For those who have a fertile imagination, they can also see in gri-gris the silhouette of a witch doing witchery. Gris-Gris was also the name of Abbee de la Caille’s dog, who came to the Isle of France in 1753. The poet Jean Toulet made it an ode by describing Gris-Gris as a “Sweet beach where my soul was born, Savanne in flowers that the ocean soaked in tears and sun of flame.” Visiting the beach in September 1886, the poet Paul Jean Toulet found the place full of “terror and fatalism not without sweetness. ” Not far from the Gris-Gris beach, you can see Chez Rosy’s restaurant, held by Rosy Gounden. You cannot leave Gris-Gris without visiting its cliff, known as La Roche qui Pleure. It got its name from the permanent runoff of sea water and the rumbling of waves against the rock. Gris-Gris has a lot of anecdotes around it. It is said that La Roche qui Pleure creates this illusion of tears flowing from the cliffs when the waves retreat there and that strangely, the features of the poet Robert Edward Hart appear as sculpted in the rocks by erosion. The absence of a coral barrier, the basaltic rocks and the powerful action of the waves have shaped amazing shapes that you will not find anywhere else.
