Paul And Virginie Monument

The Paul and Virginie Monument in Mauritius is dedicated to the characters of the novel of the same name by the French writer Jacques-Henri Bernardin de Saint-Pierre. This novel, written in 1788, has become a symbol of love, fidelity and tragic fate. The story is about two young people, Paul and Virginie, who grew up in Mauritius and fell in love, but their love faced tragic circumstances.

The story is deeply connected to the culture and history of Mauritius, and the monument in honour of Paul and Virginia symbolises the romantic spirit of the island.
