Petite Farmacy

4.0(11 reviews)

About

Found on Mauritius, Petite Farmacy sits at P.O. Box 001 on Route Royale in Petite Riviere, a pharmacy serving the island's western side. Its position along Route Royale makes it convenient for residents and visitors travelling between Port Louis and Flic en Flac or Le Morne. Grand Baie, Pereybère, Beau-Vallon and Belle Mare lie further afield, while Mahébourg sits on the opposite coast.

A 4 out of 5 average from 11 reviews reflects a modest but positive response from the people who use it. Route Royale runs through Petite Riviere, a village on the road linking the capital with the west coast. Counter service covers prescriptions and everyday health needs for the surrounding community.

Mauritian Creole is the most widely spoken language, and Rodrigues has its own related Creole, so a few words of Creole help in shops and pharmacies. Both Mauritius and Rodrigues are volcanic islands ringed by coral reefs and shallow lagoons. Traffic drives on the left on both islands, and buses are the main public transport in Mauritius.

The dodo lived on Mauritius and the solitaire on Rodrigues, and both flightless birds are now extinct, a history that shapes the island's conservation efforts today. Visitors heading west from Port Louis along Route Royale will pass through Petite Riviere, where the pharmacy stands as a practical stop on the route.
