Another mega 'like' from me ! You guys make me feel like a child, being taken by the hand and shown all the hidden treasures of the island I left behind so many years ago --places I know existed but never got round to visiting them. Your genuine love of Mauritius shines through all your videos. So I would like to shake you by the hand and buy you a beer next time I visit the island.

[@BryanDiscoversWorld]

Our pleasure! I am looking forward to that beer, Thanks

Watching this video in mid 2023. Bel Air is quite a common French place name. It is also found in English-speaking countries where real-estate developers gave posh sounding French names to localities. It means 'Bel Aire', 'beautiful area'. In Mauritius we have three places whose names have survived into the modern era. We normally affix a nearby locality name to differentiate between them. This Bel Air in the east is known as Bel Air - Rivière Sèche. There is one in the south known as Bel Air - Saint Félix. There used to be one inland from the south east coast. It was slowly abandoned around independence in the late 1960s. The inhabitants formed two new separate villages now known as Petit Bel Air and Grand Bel Air.

[@BryanDiscoversWorld]

Thank for the Info. I never really though about what the name meant, It was more about the Will Smith joke. I did drive through the Saint Felix one, but I didn't know about the other one

[@soobash]

@@BryanDiscoversWorld You would have surely driven through it. Petit Bel Air is about 1 km north of Mahebourg on the coastal Mahebourg-Flacq road. Grand Bel Air is 2 km east of Mahebourg on the Mahebourg- Saint Hubert road moving inland. The original Bel Air village was about 1 km north of Grand Bel Air. The Ferney-Plaisance highway now cuts right through it just before the Rivière des Créoles river. It sits on a small plateau overlooking the south east coast. Remnants are a few orchards and two 'kalimaye' near streams on the western and eastern limits of the original village. The 'kalimaye' is a rudimentary hindu temple consisting of a stone platform with a few rounded stones representing deities. When a village is abandoned, these 'kalimaye' are often the only reminder left standing of that village. The original inhabitants occasionally visit and pray at the kalimaye.

[@BryanDiscoversWorld]

@@soobash I have been through that area, Thanks, we have noticed temples in the middle of nowhere and wondered about then, it does make sense that they are the last of an abandoned village,

[@rookshar2908]

5.53 its not monster 😂 We call suran in Creole and in English (Elephant Foot Yam) Amorphophallus paeoniifolius, the elephant foot yam or whitespot giant arum, is a tropical tuber crop grown primarily in Africa, South Asia, Southeast Asia and the tropical Pacific islands. Because of its production potential and popularity as a vegetable in various cuisines, it can be raised as a cash crop In Mauritius here people often use it to make pickle (archard)

[@BryanDiscoversWorld]

Wow, thank you for the great info. I have never seen one before, it was really big.
