The beautifully landscaped site contains several historic cannons and restored fortifications along approximately 250 metres of coastline.
From Pointe du Diable northwards, a popular walking and cycling promenade runs along the sea.
The site has played a very important role in the history of Mauritius. In 1810, one of the greatest battles took place here, when the French settlers successfully repelled an attack by the British.
