Vingt-Cinq, French for Twenty-Five, is the capital of the Agaléga Islands, two islands in the Indian Ocean, governed by Mauritius.

Location

It is located on the North Island, near a small airfield. In the town, there is a primary school (Jacques Le Chartier Government School) and a hospital.[1] The name, Vingt-Cinq, is believed to refer to the number of lashes that slaves on the island received as punishment.[2]

Vingt-Cinq is located north of Mauritius, and had a population of 200 in 2012. The people of the island are mostly the descendants of the first slaves from mainland Africa and Madagascar to Mauritius.[3]
