Hi everyone welcome to Galerie du Moulin Casse start the montage
it's actually it's actually believe it or not the home of Pereybere Pereybere
sugar mill or Mount Orib we're not sure and you guys are looking straight into the sun
but it's going to be awesome and now it's a gallery and now it's a gallery
basically like structurally this makes the roof very light
right it's all clay pots that were obviously made on the site
wow okay well this is Diane and she's actually the
artist this is her gallery and her studio is back there off-limits and she can basically
tell you everything you need to know about this place i'm not sure what we're doing here
wow so Diane actually takes her photography and puts it on a canvas so you could buy it off
her website and get it shipped to you anywhere in the world and then you can frame it yourself
aren't these amazing let's go check out some more this place is absolutely unbelievable I I cannot
even imagine and obviously just walking in here and seeing a pool in the middle of this beautiful
gallery wow but then everything around it is even more beautiful there's a chest there there's an
old gramophone wow with an actual record on it we could probably start it up and it would play i'm
not too sure about that and the house was built in 18 1820 1820. from 1820 oh and you've got a puppy
wait you got to get the puppy distracted and then through here even more even more actual
design feature to make the roof light because the wood would keep burning if you made it out of some
of the it looks like lime mortar it definitely looks like lime mortar with the clay pots that
were actually made here and we'll probably be able to find the kiln outside but wow what a fantastic
place and the brickwork is actually original you don't want to be on the video I'm sorry hello are
you shy are you shy oh you're not allowed inside that's what it is you're gonna bark at me hi hello
hello puppies okay I tempt you any further you'll get into trouble no I was playing with puppies
getting some now and that's a copper pot
under a picture of a hermit crab I mean wherever you look there is something old
and beautiful contrasting the art and ever present is the ceiling that ceiling is amazing yeah
and did you see we got to Chazal is there Chazal you didn't immediately notice the Chazals i didn't
picture this being your lounge and with the beautiful cushions and the painting but Riki
said there's a de Chazal and you know how I love my de Chazal oh they're two of them
they're three actual well Riki's getting b-roll of that so I'll put that over this bit where
I'm talking a good friend Malcolm the place is incredible wherever you look Riki's just gonna
have a field day with with with pictures and video and film and but I'm getting carried away croquet
croquet
that's so cool you don't even notice it but I can't imagine what the building was
actually used for maybe it's just because this is the simplest way to make a big span yes yes
it's an arch so it's a big span that's made really light with the pots in it
just to make a really big room this beautiful bench leads onto a foosball table and more art
proper metal pot for those who know that's the original de Chazal but watch this they
represent production reproduction this is a reproduction of the de Chazal so if you can't
pony up for the real one you can oh wow is it a print or did you actually paint it no no no
I'm sure yeah but it looks so real yes have a look guys you can actually see the paint on it
oh yeah it is cool wow and this pink flower
that's a lotus flower
okay did you take the photo or yeah okay wow all the photos I take
beautiful look how beautiful it goes oh sorry of course if you live in Mauritius you're going to
be able to get some beautiful beautiful seascapes is that Round Island that's Round Island and they
that's Coin d'Mire so that's actually here
yes on the east coast
this is the pool now I would never would have seen this myself personally because
you guys know how I see things but look at the reflection in the pool
and this is the whole pool which is a renovation by a Mr White in the 80s
done by a famous Sri Lankan architect
Geoffrey Bawa okay so it was designed by a famous Sri Lankan
Geoffrey Bawa and it was paid for by Mr White
the pool is brilliant with the the reflection of the ceiling as well you get that whole circle
man it's just wherever you look there's something beautiful oh and a Riki as well
walking along the pond for the montage wow this place is just spectacular everyone it is
unbelievable you have to come visit and check out Diane's work it is fantastic oh and a wooden table
look at this it looks like it's a half upside down right way round beautiful wooden table
I was about to walk up but I'd forgotten to buy something and now security has arrived
hey guys they're not actually letting me out
no I'm just going to go back in and get something maybe that de Chazal
look at the floor
oh yes you've entered external domain now do I smell funny no I don't I finally smell good again
this is the outside of the building as you can see it's slightly rounded
so it's got a very steep curve on the inside but only quite shallow on the outside
now there's something over there that Riki's already discovered
but I just have to go and have a look at just a quick a quick peek sneak peek
Riki and the puppies yeah
wow it's a train carriage
good morning this is actually a train car an actual train car from the 1800s
and so beautifully restored if I'd known this was here to come so much more earlier
so much more earlier wow Bryan anyway I think it has been restored it's probably it's probably
something well I'm just going to show you through the window yeah you guys have like never seen
anything like this before what are these people doing okay we can't see too much because it's a
little bit reflective but there is stuff in there it's a bed there's a bed wow awesome
well the puppies like us if you're enjoying this video give us a thumbs up sorry guys like that
like no apparently they don't like us so scratch that this is actually a room it's got a bed in it
but i think it's actually a place you can come stay oh okay they probably repurposed it as like
a little guest room it looks like an old train oh wow i still want to come stay here yeah maybe
Diane can put it on airbnb that way yes if she put her on airbnb i would be her first customer
wow and it's got the footplates on the train you can actually sleep in it how awesome is that
red letter day red letter day and it's been so beautifully restored so well done those guys
over to Riki where she asks you for a thumbs up
i did that already with the dogs
there you go
hey everyone welcome to playing with puppies in the yard stop the montage
come on guys this is your queue start the montage guys
no you're just interested in Bryan I wonder
what this mysterious wall is in the middle here let's have a quick squiz oh wow it's actually
a well it is actually a well and you can see quite deep into it there we are into the well and
there's just so much stuff around you possibly Mount Orib or actually Pereybere mill i'm not sure
Pereybere mill i can only see a Mount Orib marked on the map and not much else information about
it at all but wow it is so beautiful and look at the ramparts and such a cool tree this must be a
one of those fruit things yeah uh did you step on another bougainvillea that one went right through
my shoe into my foot that's why we didn't get the ramparts look at the size of these ramparts
to hold up the building because it's a domed structure you actually have to have quite a big
rampart to hold it up man this thing is massive i don't know if you can see me just reaching to
the end ah that must be at least 75 centimeters thick
cool this must be part of the old building
this is definitely an old original bit it hasn't been repaired so
you can actually see the stonework and then you put the mortar over it
the lime mortar right next to the the well cut stones but it's all just perfectly preserved
dog's going to go check out your stone wall now
a stone block
and there's a chimney no I didn't think there was a chimney
it's a it's a working one I'm supposed to get it it's my trick okay this b-roll cut by lyrics
cut my lyrics remember I said red letter today I was wrong now it's a red-letter day look at this
it's the lion head and he's working the actual lion head and he's working
can you believe how many we've seen that we're like dilapidated and broken
an actual working one oh man wow I'm going to show you more close-ups of that that is so fantastic
oh man the lion is actually taking out the water and you can just make up the little
bit at the bottom there that we always wondered what it said still going to be wondering though
with his crown on in glory oh and I've got my camera in the way so it makes it worse
and yes he is into a pond which is actually quite beautiful in its own right I suppose
but yeah Riki will get b-roll of that because look at that oh wow
so nobody gets to see this but they may or may not be a chimney as well
but it's not part of the tour not part of the tour well everyone there's Pereybere there she is
standing tall or Mount Orib we're not quite sure Mr Pereybere chimney
so it must be the private house just attached next door it also looks incredibly old super amazing
place give a call and come around to visit and buy some photos or reproductions
look how cool that is
foot scraper
through there you're probably not going to make it out which is good because this is
clandestine footage is the car that was owned by SAJ the previous prime minister of Mauritius yeah
you know with old places like this you just have no idea what you might stumble upon
and you're like walking along and it's like okay but what
what is it what was it but it's so super cool it's intriguing there's something around every corner
how awesome is that
no man I'm too too far away
oh man I actually didn't notice this on my way in but have a look at the cut on the sides here
they're actually at an angle which means that once the door was closed
you couldn't get out wait a second that's the wrong way around surely it shouldn't be get in
anyway so fortifications really thick walls there's more through that little door but I'm not
going to show you you're gonna have to come see it for yourselves they've got a place for a bonfire
and place for a tea garden and of course lovely old banyan tree being careful not to eat the place
awesome behind Tami is a wooden wagon I'm not even gonna show you you're gonna have to come and see
it yourself it's probably older than Tami I don't know I don't know if anything's older than Tami
it's a lovely wagon well everyone I'd just like to thank Diane for having us here you know beautiful
