Pamplemousses (Mauritian Creole pronunciation: [pɑ̃plemus]) is a district of Mauritius, located in the northwest of the island, and is one of the most densely populated parts of the island. The name of the district comes from the French word for grapefruits. The district has an area of 178.7 km2 and an estimated population of 139,966, as of 31 December 2015.[2]

Places of interest
