Port Louis is the city of textile. There are streets where you have shops selling only textile products as cloth each after the other. In the past, Port Louis the capital city of Mauritius, was the place where all the retailers from the island used to go make their shopping for their commerce. This is why in a large number of towns in Mauritius shops are closed the Thursday afternoon, it was the day all the retailers went to Port Louis city to buy things needed, it is not anymore the case now. Most of the wholesalers were found in Port Louis at this time. Long time ago the way of transport in the island was horses or trains so that is why they need the whole afternoon to travel to the capital city. Mauritius has modernised a lot since this period but there are still poor people and still people living without electricity and water.
