Motorists will now be denied access near the crater of Trou aux Cerfs. This decision was made by the Municipality of Curepipe, who decided to make this place a pedestrian zone. This Decision shall take effect from this Friday, July 6, 2012.
Access to the Trou-aux-Cerfs was previously authorized to motorists 18 hours a day. The women were denied access in the morning from 6:00 to 9:00, and in the afternoon from 16:00 to 19:00.
