The history of the sugar cane industry runs deep. Serving as a cornerstone of the Mauritian economy for two centuries, this sector has evolved into a symbol of innovation. Beyond sugar production, it now encompasses the creation of rum, bio-fertilizers, green energy, and animal feed. Positioned at the core of a circular economy model, it plays a crucial role in environmental sustainability, agriculture, and various industries.  The red-roofed church’s nomenclature has various origins. Some assert that it received its name following the demise of the vessel Saint Geran on August 18, 1744. This event served as inspiration for Bernardin de St Pierre’s renowned novel ‘Paul and Virginie.’ Conversely, others suggest that its nomenclature is linked to the numerous maritime disasters in this region during the early stages of the island’s colonization.
