Wander into the world around the Poudre d'Or village jetty, where life unfolds with the ebb and flow of the tides, and stories linger like salt on the breeze.
The jetty is the beating heart of the Mauritian fishermen community's livelihood and spirit. But beyond its utilitarian purpose, the jetty transforms into a bustling agora, where villagers converge to exchange news, share laughter, and seek solace in the company of neighbors.
Through the voices of those who call the jetty home, a tapestry of Mauritian history unfurls. They speak of the shifting landscape—of homes changing, of trades handed down through generations now yielding to the relentless march of modernity. The jetty, once a steadfast anchor in the rhythms of daily life, evolves with each passing year, and we, too, evolve in its wake.
