Notre-Dame Auxiliatrice, a small church with a bright red roof, stands by the sea at Cap Malheureux, the 'Cape of Misfortune' where the British landed in 1810. With Coin de Mire rising offshore, it's one of the most photographed views in Mauritius.
A 20-minute stop on a northern day trip, ideally at sunset.
