Flacq city is located in the east of Mauritius.
It has the largest outdoor market in Mauritius.
It offers a large variety of goods for willing buyers. For a visit with all the stalls operating, you can choose to visit on Wednesdays or Sundays, between 6am to 5pm.
The visit kicks off with the textile section where you will find fabrics of all colours and patterns. You will also find stalls with ready made garments as well. Colourful sarees, sparkling lehengas or comfy sweatpants are all available within meters of each other. I have covered these in my current Vlog
Next section is for fruits and vegetables, where you will experience a feast for the eyes with the colourful placements of the vegetables and also amusement from the vendors with their unique slogans. I will cover this market in my next Vlog.
The last section of the Market consist mostly of souvenirs and local handicrafts. You will find here a large selection of souvenirs, jewelleries, handbags, baskets. There are a couple of stalls with several African themed tops and dresses hanging from the roof of the stalls, so heads up! On the far left of this section, the street food is available. Piping hot samousas (fritters filled with potatoes and peas) , freshly cooked gato arouille (Taro Root fritters) or some refreshing coconut water, you just have to make your choice and enjoy.
A trip to the Flacq Market is a must for those who want to learn more about the culture of the East of Mauritius. You may be lucky enough to even hear snippets of the Bhojpuri language spoken across the market.
