Monument Commemorating la Bataille Navale du Vieux Grand-Port in Maebourg is a monument dedicated to one of the most significant naval battles in the history of the Indian Ocean. The Battle of Grand-Port, which took place in 1810, was an important battle between the French and British navies during the Napoleonic Wars. Despite Britain's overall victory in the war, this battle ended in a French victory and was the only naval battle that France won in the wars.

The monument in Maebourg serves as a reminder of this historic event and is one of the key attractions in the city where visitors can learn more about the maritime history of Mauritius.
