Le Domaine des Aubineaux, located in Forest-Side, some minutes away from the town of Curepipe, invites friends and families to come and discover its rich history, dating back to the colonial days. Built in 1872, this lovely mansion is tucked away in a wide space full of plants and tall trees. Full of furniture and paintings, each being nowadays living memories of that time, it has since been turned into a museum. A Restaurant has even opened on-site, in 2008. A rich programme (detailed below) awaits!
