Brief History of Pereybere
In 1845, a man named Charles Péreybère, hence the name of the village, owned land covering about 703 acres. Many years later, in 1929, he agreed to sell his land to a certain Mr. Georges Castel. However, as malaria had spread on these lands in the past, they remained uninhabitable until white Mauritians of French origin came to settle there and until later, houses, camps and hotels were built. However, the village of Péreybère still maintains an unparalleled simplicity and atmosphere.
