While travelling north from the South East region along the East coastal road, the first developed village you will find is Trou d'Eau Douce. Two reasons might explain the success of this small village of the east coast; firstly, the presence of a five star hotel and secondly, the fact that anyone looking to travel to the small and attractive Ile Aux Cerfs island must take a ferry boat at Trou d'Eau Douce.
Trou d'Eau Douce is also a village of fishermen and small planters. The people here are well known for their politeness and simplicity of life. They have developed a lifestyle tightly anchored to sea activities. The children of Trou d'Eau Douce can hardly imagine a school holiday without playing at the seaside. Trou d'Eau Douce also has an array of fine seafood restaurants and tourists souvenir shops. In this colourful and calm village, tourists who frequently return back to Mauritius have bonded close ties with the friendly inhabitants of Trou d'Eau Douce.
