Quartiers r��sidentiels

Favorite thing: Dans les rues à angle droit des quartier autour du centre ville, chaque maison est close, désormais, mai un mur parfois très haut.
Lorsque vous circulez en ville, vous avancez donc entre deux rangées de blocs de béton plus ou moins bien crépis.
heureusement, souvent la végétation exubérante reprends ses droits, et les barrières sont vite recouvertes de fleurs de toutes les couleurs.

in the streets right-angled of the quarter around the center city, every house is closed, henceforth, May a wall sometimes very high.
When you circulate in city, you advance therefore more or less between two rows of concrete blocks very roughcast.
fortunately, the immoderate vegetation often takes his/her/its rights, and the gates are covered quickly of flowers of all colors.

Sreet vendor of bredes

Favorite thing: Les brèdes sont des légumes (il en existe plusieurs sortes, dont les brèdes mafanes...) dont on fait des potages ou des accompagnements de plats.
Beaucoup de mauriciens des classes populaires tentent d'obtenir un petiot lopin de terre où ils cultivent quelques légumes destinés à leur consommation, et dont ils revendent le surplus.


The "bredes" is vegetables (several ways exist of it, of which the "bredes mafanes"...) of which one makes soups or the accompaniments of dishes.
A lot of maurician's popular class tempts to get a petiot patch of earth where they cultivate some vegetables destined to their consumption, and of which they resell the surplus.
