Eureka House

Eureka la maison Créole in West Moka stands about 4km from Le Reduit, on the other side of the Port Louis Curepipe motorway, just off the road to Moka. This country house, lying under Montagne Ory, was restored and opened to the public in 1986 as a museum. It was built in the 1830s and purchased in 1856 by Eugene Leclezio, the first Mauritian Master of the Supreme Court. Like Le Rediut, and any of the properties around this area, it has terrific views across the river valley.
