Before your flight from Lyon to Mauritius  

When to book a flight from Lyon to Mauritius ?

Mauritius is located in the southern hemisphere and enjoys a tropical climate. The austral summer runs from November to April: hot and humid. The austral winter starts in May and ends in October : the weather is milder and drier.

But climate and weather aren't the only factors that determine the best time to travel to Mauritius. School vacations are also an important part of the equation! These periods are very popular, and prices fluctuate greatly from one period to the next. For greater peace of mind, it's best to avoid the end-of-year vacations. And if you want to leave at a lower cost, opt for the months from April to June.

Hiking in the Rivière Noire gorges national park, climbing Morne Brabant, diving in the ocean depths... Whatever time of year you decide to travel, with temperatures between 20 and 30°C all year round, you're spoilt for choice!

With our airline, even if you book at the last minute, find the cheapest plane and fly to the tropics without breaking the bank!

What are the formalities before your flight from Lyon to Mauritius ?

To stay in Mauritius, you need a valid passport and a return ticket. No vaccinations are required. The currency used in Mauritius is the Mauritian rupee, so be sure to exchange money.

Arriving at the Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam airport

Here you are in the Republic of Mauritius. The airport is around 50 km from Port-Louis. Recently renovated, it sets the tone by welcoming you in a tropical atmosphere.
There are several ways to reach your accommodation. 
Various bus companies serve the island. While it's a convenient and inexpensive way to get around, it's rather slow and noisy.

Cabs are also a good way to get around, but beware of the fares charged.
But that's not all! The island has also recently been equipped with a metro line. For short trips into the city center, this can be an interesting option, depending on your type of stay.

With two free freeways and a road network that covers the entire island relatively well, it's well worth opting for a rental car. The main agencies are located at the airport, but don't wait until you arrive to book one.
