    It remains beautiful Creole houses little, because the wood that served to their construction asks for a constant interview. This kind of construction necessity therefore of thick financial means.

    It is in the bourgeois districts of Rose Hill that one can admire the biggest number of Creole houses again in a remarkable state.

    Church Notre Dame de Lourdes

    Deux des églises de Rose-Hill se font face, de part et d'autre de la Route Royale, en direction de Port-Louis. Si vous êtes attentifs, vous remarquerez que les mauriciens, très religieux, se signent devant une église, quelle que soit leur confession ou leur croyance.
    L'église Notre Dame de Lourdes est celle où sont célébrés les mariages (en tout cas, c'est la seule où j'en ai vu célébrer à Rose-Hill).

    Two of the churches of Rose-Hill cope themselves, on all sides of the Royal Road, in direction of Port-Louis. If you are attentive, you will notice that the mauriciens, very religious, signs themselves before a church, whatever is their confession or their belief.
    The church Notre Dame de Lourdes is the one where is celebrated the marriages (in any case, it is the only one where I saw to celebrate in Rose-Hill of it).

    Le Cavadee a lieu plusieurs fois par an, mais le Thai Pousam Cavadee est de tous la plus populaire. Au cours de cette fête qui a lieu en fin janvier - début février, les fidèles vivent des instants de spiritualité intense.
    Le Thai Pousam Cavadee est célébré en l'honneur de Mourouga ou Mourougan, fils cadet du dieu Siva et d'Ouma.
    Cette fête est pour toute la communauté Tamoule l'occasion de manifester dans la solennité, la dignité et la ferveur, sa fidélité au dieu Mourouga.
    La date de la célébration et l'époque à laquelle elle doit avoir lieu sont fixées en tenant compte du calendrier Tamoul.
    Les dix jours précédant la fête sont sacrés. Après un jeûne de dix jours : l'âme est purifiée des passions et de l'orgueil, de la haine et de l'envie, où toute nourriture cuite est proscrite, le régime végétarien étant de rigueur. Les pèlerins marchent vers leurs temples, transportant sur leurs épaules leur 'Cavadee'.
    Leurs corps sont recouverts de fines aiguilles en argent.

    Les temples Tamouls sont très colorés (contrairement aux temples hindous, très sobres, et blancs). Ils sont ornés d'une multitude de sculptures et peints de couleurs brillantes et vives.
    Les traditions religieuses tamoules sont très impressionnantes, qu'il s'agisse des marches sur le feu, ou du Cavadee (voir le Travelogue)

    Tous les jours, au petit matin, c'est l'appel du Muezzin qui me servait de réveil. Il n'y a que les jours de cyclone où je ne l'ai pas entendu. Il rythme ainsi les journées, chaque matin et chaque soir.

    Every day, it is in the small hours, the Muezzin's call that acted me as wakening. The days of cyclone where I didn't hear it ago. He rhythmizes the days, every morning and every evening thus.
