The Company’s Garden
Port-Louis · Port Louis
The Jardin de la Compagnie is one of the gardens of the city of Port Louis, tended by the Parks & Gardens section of the municipal council. It owes its name to the French East India Company, which owned and administered the island from 1721 to 1764. It is bordered on one side by the Pouce stream, on the other by the Butte à Tonier stream.
What sets it apart
The green spaces are the lungs of Port Louis: they purify the air, give shade and are home to the statues of figures from the past. The Parks & Gardens section, headed by the superintendent of parks and gardens, was created under Mayor Raoul Rochecouste.
