Additionally, since some years now, Flic en Flac is more known as the new ‘Grand Bay’ due to its increased night life and amenities. Compared to 1969 where Flic en Flac was just a regular beach village, today this same village has grown and developed a lot to the point that on Friday and Saturday nights you can take up to 1 hour or more by car to reach there from Cascavelle, compared to 15 minutes in the past. The good thing is that this has brought many job opportunities to the villagers and the surrounding lands have even appreciated in value.
