Port Louis - Post Report Question and Answers

Would someone with physical disabilities have difficulties living in this city?

Yes, this is not a disabled-friendly environment and Port Louis is a jumbled, organic mess of sidewalks, streets, curbs, gutters, and infrastructure. There are cross-walks and ramps, but they seem to have been planned to take you as far away from where you need to go as possible. You never see a wheelchair in Port Louis. Furthermore, there are no sidewalks to speak of in the villages and smaller towns so I'd imagine it's quite dangerous for someone with ambulatory issues. - Jun 2014
