Grand Baie Catholic Church

It seemed like we were in Tahiti, Hawaii or New Zealand, not your typical church model one expects to find in South Africa but, as in Mauritius, the mixture of races, beliefs and styles is so brutal that you just end up getting used to finding curiosities along the way. The view outside the church is of a huge bay, impossible blue waters, boats and catamarans, all surrounded by trees and vegetation. Inside the church, barely twenty years old, large, is fresh and bright and we find several details. A simple altar, unpretentious, like the people of the island, there are no pictures, animistic syncretism does not need them.
