Saturday Market
( 4.30-10am)
The Saturday market is as busy as Rodrigues gets and a good place to shop
for fresh produce and souvenirs. It's open the rest of the week but really gears up on
Saturdays when much of the island turns out. It's next to the bridge near the post office.
Turn up later than 10am and you'll wonder what all of the fuss is about.
MARKET
La Résidence
(Rue de la Solidarité)
One of the oldest buildings still standing in Port Mathurin, La Résidence
dates from 1897, when it provided a fairly modest home for the British chief commission-
er. Its facilities are now used as function rooms for the new Regional Assembly. As such,
it is closed to the public although it is possible to get an idea of the structure from the ver-
andah of the tourist office (
