Located at the heart of Port Louis, the Champ de Mars Racecourse is the oldest horse-racing track in the Southern Hemisphere and one of the most historic landmarks in Mauritius. Established in 1812 by the Mauritius Turf Club, it has become a symbol of the island’s colonial heritage and passion for horse racing.
Surrounded by the lush mountains of Port Louis, the racecourse offers an energetic and vibrant atmosphere, especially on race days, when thousands of spectators gather to experience the thrill of local and international horse racing events. Beyond sports, it holds great cultural and historical significance — it was here that the Mauritian flag was first hoisted during the country’s independence ceremony in 1968.
Visitors can explore the picturesque grounds, admire the statue of King Edward VII, and enjoy the mix of tradition and excitement that defines this historic venue. The Champ de Mars remains not just a racing arena, but a living piece of Mauritian history and a beloved social gathering spot in Port Louis.
