Take a stroll through Flacq Market in Mauritius, with its fresh fruit, fragrant spices, alouda, faratas and warm, authentic atmosphere.

Every Wednesday and Sunday, Flacq Market comes alive in a warm and colourful atmosphere. Between the busy stalls, the smiles of the vendors, the scent of spices and the hum of conversation give the market its unmistakably authentic character.

Fresh fruit and vegetables, coconut water, alouda, faratas, briani and other Mauritian specialities offer a true taste of the island’s local flavours. Yet Flacq Market is about much more than food. Visitors will also find clothing, jewellery, tableware, tools and a wide variety of everyday goods.

More than a place to shop, the market is a lively meeting point where residents and visitors cross paths, exchange a few words and experience the rhythm of daily life in Mauritius.

Travel-Îles takes you between the stalls of Flacq Market, inviting you to taste, observe and slow down while exploring a vibrant, generous and deeply Mauritian side of the island.
