SATURDAY 8TH JULY 2017 - THE BARBE CUP 2017

Are you ready to experience one of the classics of the Season ?  Book your seat at the Crown Lodge and enjoy the raceday in the company of Jacques and his great team.

Some information on the Barbé Cup : 

The Barbé was run for the first time in Mauritius in 1902 and takes it name from Laurent Alphonse Barbé, who was the Secretary to the Mauritius Turf Club from 1867 to 1893 (picture above).  He was said to be a very honest man.  The Golden Cup (above) was first offered in 1956 by Mr Henri Giblot Ducray.

What's in for you at the Crown Lodge ?  

Dress up as if you were to attend a wedding !  If you like wearing hats, go for it and just leave everything else to Jacques and his team!  You will not be deceived... A smart day you will never forget.

We would like to share with you the moments our guests enjoyed at the Crown Lodge last Saturday; the raceday was sponsored by Nolands.  Here are some pictures to give you an 'avant-gout' of what's in for you ...

Welcome and briefing by Jacques, under the beautiful trees, before you make your way to the lodge on the first floor.  As you can see, the whole family is always welcome.

Our beautiful guests visiting the place before the start of the first race... 

No, it was not the July in Durban, it was at the Champ de Mars in Port Louis, Mauritius - Guests at the Crown Lodge !

It's magic...from your balcony, your glass of champagne in your hands, this is what you get... the bell rings, the horses rush out of the stalls and ... you just relax and watch the race. If you are lucky your horse can win just a few metres from where you stand !

A sunny day, a happy jockey, a fit and elegant horse !

A sunny day, a happy Daddy and Baby

and the happy Mommy and Dolly !

Guests at the Crown Lodge are spoilt from start to finish, pampered by our professional team all day long and, when they leave, take along with them, special memories of an unforgettable race day spent in style...

It is your turn to experience a race day at the Crown Lodge, just book your seat and let Jacques look after your day.  Take home beautiful pictures but most of all the highlight of your Mauritius visit.

You can enjoy the caress of the sun on your skin during the whole day thanks to the comfy balcony Jacques has carefully prepared for his guests...
