My story begins 10 years ago when I bought a piece of land from my big cousins. A wasteland on which there were old stables dating from the French occupation. Grand Gaube and Pointe aux Canonniers were high places of defences during the French colony, thanks to the immensity of the lagoons protected from the reefs and the impregnable views on the northern islands. Quickly a dilemma was imposed... should I demolish this stone building that was not square with the land? I decided to keep it.. and not only. I wanted to bring a part of Mauritius' history using wood and old demolition stones from various places... Like beams from the first bank of Mauritius. It required 7 years of construction, a lot of patience and research. I hope you will feel at home here.

Welcome to Grand Gaube, authentic fishing village in the north of the island. 100 years of stories connect my family to this village. It started when my great grandfather donated a plot of land to build St. Michael's Church. Later my grandfather who fell in love with this place decided to build a second home, a bungalow on the beach for school holidays. At the time, living in the city was a must. Soon his sisters would follow his example and Grand Gaube became the holiday and weekend headquarters for this large family. In the late 1970s, many family members settled there permanently.
