Mauritius - Flic En Flac

A few kilometres off the main road to Port Louis (A3), Wolmar and Flic en Flac have seen considerable development over recent years with hotels and holiday houses multiplying at an alarming rate. The village of Wolmar has largely disappeared and luxury hotels now dominate this stretch of coast, giving it an air of exclusivity. Flic en Flac has a broader range of accommodation and all the trappings of a tourist resort: restaurants, travel agents and souvenir shops.

Despite the rows of Spanish Costa-style holiday homes opposite, the Flic en Flac public beach remains relatively unspoilt. Mauritians flock here on weekends and picnic among the casuarinas trees around the old lime kiln.

The name ‘Flic en Flac’ is thought to come from Old Dutch, an onomatopoeic word for the sound of hands slapping goatskin drums. Say it quickly.

The outlets you see in Flic en Flac advertising tourist information are not MTPA tourist information offices; rather they are private companies. While they can provide information on excursions, bear in mind they will be trying to sell their own products. One such outlet is the Flic en Flac Tourist Agency (% 453 9389; e ffagency[at]intnet.mu; fftourist.com).
