Port Louis - Post Report Question and Answers

Is this a "shopping post"? Are there interesting handicrafts, artwork, antiques, or other items that people typically buy there?

The coco-de-mer up in Seychelles is the world's biggest seed and has a distinctly -- ahem -- suggestive shape. Allegedly you can buy one for EUR 200, but there's a bit of hassle with paperwork and customs. There's not really a lot of unique souvenirs, just enjoy your life here! - Jun 2014


Not much local...maybe rum (although it is pretty rough stuff), sugar, and tea. T shirts and inexpensive clothing items from factory shops...but nothing very nice. - Feb 2009
