France–Mauritius (or Franco-Mauritian relations) refers to the historical, political, economic, social and cultural connections between the Republic of France and the Republic of Mauritius.[1] Mauritius also shares close ties with its nearest neighbour, the French island of Réunion. Connections between France and Mauritius date back to 1710 when Mauritius became a French colony and was renamed Isle de France. The only dispute between the two countries is the sovereignty of Tromelin; the island is claimed by Mauritius. The French embassy is located at Port Louis, while Mauritius has an embassy in Paris.
Trade[]
The trade relations between Mauritius and France are strong, multi-layered and have grown over the years. France is one Mauritius's strategic partners: it is by far the most important market for the Mauritius’ tourism industry.
