The Champs de Mars - the oldest racecourse in the Southern Hemisphere! Who would have thought it would be in Mauritius? Grew up around here with my dad working for MTC. If you like gambling and horse racing, this is the place for you. Plenty of mauritian drinks and foods here esp alooda on a hot day but one has to try the gâteau piment sold by the old lady at "la boutique bleue"! It is the best. You are advised not to drive to here as there is very limited parking space.
Every Saturday or Sunday for some month there are horse racing others day it is just a great place for some jobbing.
Fun venue but needs to be upgraded in terms of facilities. Too many people, not enough shaded area.
Fond of horse racing? This is the place to be. Had a great day there. Large parking for vehicles. Great foodcourt where you can enjoy different cuisine. Several bookmakers for betting.
Top ambiance when in members lounge with friends. Also several Restaurants within club area. Close contact to ambitious players from any level of the society.
Nice historical place and great horse racing track in the Southern Hemisphere with an amazing atmosphere
A great place for Saturday horse races and some time car racing and concerts too held here. Nice views and easy access.
A historic site for those who like architecture. And a lively place once a week for those who like horse racing.
Horse racing track in Port Louis. Races are held on Saturdays, but it is seasonal. You can get a local to accompany you and place a bet, or just drive your car inside and watch the horses pass by you for an amazing experience. The main event is the 4th race. Don't worry, the doors open after every race so you can drive outside of the track.
Horse racing and for jodging Interesting place Even better at night
Every weeks I go jogging at champ de mars.i'ts very peaceful and calm.There is even an exercising area and a children playground.
One of the must see places in Mauritius. Horse racing is a real entertainment on Saturdays and there's quite a wonderful atmosphere during the horse racing season. Before you visit, make sure that it's a race day cause there's a racing season calendar. One thing you need to be careful of.is to watch out for pick pockets!!!
Nice famous placeparking availableice cream seller a must to buy too goodbut never go alone at night specially after midnight. Family environmentpolice often do patrol for security
Fond of horse racing? This is the place to be. Had a great day there.
Good place for watching horse racing but also for running and fitness workouts
I go jogging and play football at Champs de Mars very often.. Unfortunately, there are many dogs on the track. 1 thing missing would be a toilet! We play football for hours and run around the track and without a toilet, it gets difficult to do so. I would be grateful if a toilet could be made available.
Fantastic place to be close to thoroughbreds..mostly of SA origins. U can watch daily training at 5 am and every 2pm at Shakespeare road on week days.
The atmosphere is great get to meet people ans socialize
Great Mauritian food during horse racing day - mostly Saturdays
Betting for those who like the price is better compared to off course
Oldest track in the southern hemisphere. Aged more than 200 years. Race occurs every saturday fron march to december. Great place for family to picnic. Must try
If you ever go to Mauritius, you have to visit a traditional horse race! Amazing!
Atmosphere, great ambience, oldest turf club in the southern hemisphere
Atmosphere on 🏇 days is great.
Fresh air you can breathe
The oldest race track of the southern hemisphere. No races between December and March. Be careful with your pockets if you are in the open standing area.
Good place to be in summer evening. Cool and fresh from city heat
What a great experience! As a tourist/foreigner, we were treated as honoured guests and put in a box in the Grandstand. The races are very colourful events, lots of locals milling about, betting on dead certs. You can buy drinks and snacks for reasonable prices. Tip - listen to the waiter in your hotel if he gives you a tip!
