About 6km from Plaine Magnien, as you enter the village of L Escalier, is the entry to the Savanna sugar mill. Follow the sign for some 4km to Le Souffleur, through the mill ground and the cane fields. The blowhole is at the end of the biggest promontory, joined to the shore and car park by landfill. Cars and bicycles can go all the way down. You can visit Le Souffleur Monday to Friday from 8am to 6pm and on Saturday from 7am to noon.
Entry is free.
Souillac Named after the Vicomte de Souillac, the island's French governor from 1779to 1787, Souillac Like Mahebourg , is of little interest in itself. It is not particularly welcoming or helpful to visitors, probably because it is not used to getting them. Souillac seems a place that Mauritius likes to visit. Gris Gris and Robert Edward Hart's house are popular school outings. Gris Gris Continue along the road past Le Nef and the Robert Edward Hart Museum and you come to grassy cliff top, which affords a view of the black rocky coastline where the reef is broken, and a path down to Gris Gris Beach.
