The Rault Biscuit Factory near Mahebourg has been handcrafting manioc biscuits by the same traditional method since 1870, making it a living piece of Mauritian heritage. Visitors can tour the atmospheric old factory to watch the cassava-based biscuits being shaped and baked on hot iron plates, exactly as they were over a century ago, and buy them fresh at the end. A small family-run enterprise safeguarding a unique craft, it offers an authentic and characterful glimpse of the island’s artisanal traditions.
