Введение
Триолет — город среднего размера, расположенный на севере Маврикия, в районе Памплмусс. Он находится точно в 11 километрах от Порт-Луи, столицы острова. Город уютно расположился среди зелёных полей сахарного тростника, недалеко от северо-западного побережья острова. По данным переписи населения 2016 года, в Триолете проживало 24 073 человека, при плотности населения 2764 жителя на км² на площади 8,71 км². Плотность населения здесь выше, чем в поселке Вакоас-Феникс, где этот показатель составляет 1948 жителей на км². К северу от Триолета расположены прибрежные деревни Тру-о-Биш, Мон-Шуази и Гранд-Бей, а к западу — Пуант-о-Пиман и Балаклава. К югу от Триолета находится Арсенал, а к востоку — Морселеман Сент-Андре и Плен-де-Папай.
Triolet is a medium sized town in the north of the Mauritius district of Pamplemousses. It lies exactly 11 kilometres from Port Louis, the capital of the island. The town is nestled amidst green sugarcane fields, near the north western coast of the island. As per the 2016 population census, Triolet had 24 073 inhabitants and a population density of 2764 inhabitants per km2, over an area of 8.71 m2. The population density is higher than that of the township of Vacoas Phoenix which is at 1948 inhabitants per km2. To the north of Triolet lie Trou aux Biches, Mont Choisy and Grand Baie which are coastal villages, while to its west are Pointe aux Piments and Balaclava. On the south lies Arsenal and to the east are Morcellement St André and Plaine des Papayes.
Экономика
Экономика Триоле исторически была преимущественно сельскохозяйственной. Как и другие агломерации на Маврикии, она во многом сформировалась благодаря наемным рабочим из Индии и африканским рабам, работавшим на сахарных плантациях в окрестностях, последней из которых была плантация Солитуд, прекратившая свою деятельность. Со временем население изменилось, и многие наемные рабочие стали мелкими плантаторами и землевладельцами. После проведения политики диверсификации в 70-х, 80-х и 90-х годах значительная часть населения перешла в сферу производства и туризма. В последнее время существенная доля населения занялась также государственной службой и сектором услуг, особенно в области информационных технологий и финансов.
The economy of Triolet has historically mostly been agricultural. Like other agglomerations in Mauritius, it was largely set up from Indian origin Indentured workers and African slaves working on the sugar estates around, the latest of which to shut down was the Solitude estate. With time the population has evolved and many of the indentured workers evolved to small planters and land owners. Following the diversification policies of the 70's, 80's and 90's sizeable parts of the population moved to manufacturing and tourism. Recently a significant portion of the population has also gone into the civil service and service sectors, especially IT and Finance.
Инфраструктура
У Триоле есть почти идеально прямая главная дорога, которая ведет в северо-западную прибрежную деревню и популярный туристический курорт Гранд-Бей. Вдоль этой главной дороги развита большая часть инфраструктуры. В основном здесь расположены параллельные второстепенные дороги, пересекающиеся под прямым углом. В Триоле есть здание администрации, где принимаются политические и административные решения, женский центр и молодежный центр. В Триоле представлены большинство государственных служб, включая полицию, пожарную станцию, почтовое отделение, Национальное пенсионное управление и Управление социального обеспечения. Государственная библиотека находится за зданием центра социального обеспечения и иногда называется CLAP. Хотя библиотека располагает собранием классической литературы, коллекция не отличается полнотой и хорошей организацией. Однако современная художественная литература представлена слабо, что часто вызывает жалобы. Библиотеку посещают ученики близлежащих школ. В Триоле также есть три государственных начальных школы и несколько частных начальных школ. Здесь расположены две государственные средние школы: Государственная средняя школа имени леди Сушил Рамгулам, Государственная средняя школа для мальчиков Триолет и одна частная средняя школа – Международный колледж. В последнее время в Триоле открылись филиалы многих банков, почти каждого, представленного на острове. Здесь также есть крупные универмаги, такие как Courts Ltd, J Kalachand Ltd, Galaxy Ltd.
Triolet has a main road that is almost perfectly straight, which goes all the way to the north western coastal village and popular tourist resort Grand Baie. Along this main road most of the infrastructure has developed. It has mostly parallel secondary roads that cross at right angles. There is a village hall where political and administrative decisions are taken, a women's centre and a youth centre. Triolet has most government services operations represented, including Police, Fire Station, Post Office, National Pensions Office and Social Security Office. A government library can also be found, behind the Social Welfare centre. It is sometimes referred to as the CLAP. Although the library is stocked with classical authors, the collection is not thorough and well arranged. However, the library has a poor collection of modern fiction, which is often a cause of complaint. The library is frequented by students of the nearby schools. It also has three government primary schools and various private primary schools. It has two state secondary schools, Lady Sushil Ramgoolam State Secondary School, Triolet State Secondary School for Boys, and one private secondary school, the International College. Lately, various banks have opened in Triolet, with nearly every bank on the island having a branch there. There are various major department stores such as Courts Ltd, J Kalachand Ltd, Galaxy Ltd.
К инфраструктурным объектам относятся детская игровая площадка и рынок, расположенные на дороге Бон Эйр, ведущей к Морселлемент Сент-Андре. В Триоле есть футбольное поле – стадион имени Рабиндраната Гурбурруна, используемый для проведения местных футбольных турниров. Однако это скорее поле, чем стадион, поскольку оно не поддерживается в надлежащем состоянии и практически не имеет зрительских мест. Планируется строительство спортивного комплекса для решения проблемы нехватки спортивных сооружений в деревне.
Infrastructural developments include a children's playground and market situated in the Bon Air road which leads to Morcellement St. Andre. Triolet has one football field the Rabindranath Ghurburrun Stadium that is used for local football tournaments. This is not really a stadium as it is not regularly maintained and has little or no seating arrangements. A sports complex is believed to be planned to cater for the lack of sports facilities in the village.
Этимология
Слово "триолет" происходит от названия особого вида французского стихотворения, возникшего до эпохи Возрождения. "Triolet" – это "триплет" в английском переводе – обозначает очень специфический тип стихотворения. Триолет – старейшая и простейшая поэтическая форма, использовавшаяся в золотой век лирики. Триолет также является методом измерения времени в западной классической музыке, где длительность ноты делится на три отчетливых деления (вместо двух), которые могут быть как равными, так и неравными. От количества три и произошло название "триолет" – французский эквивалент слова "триплет". Это демонстрируется в статье о западной музыке.
The word "Triolet" has its origins in a very specific type of French poem, before the French renaissance. Un "Triolet", a "Triplet" in English, denotes a very specific type of poem. Triolet is the oldest and simplest form of poetry that was used during the golden age of lyric poetry. The Triolet is also a method for timekeeping in western classical music, where the time scale of a note is divided into 3 distinctive divisions (rather than into 2), which may or may not be of equal length. Their being three, gives rise to the word Triolet, the French equivalent of triplet. This is demonstrated in the article on the western music.

К северу от Терминуса проходит большая дорога, ведущая прямо к Гранд-Бей. Считается, что эту дорогу построили англичане в 1810 году во время битвы против французов, оккупировавших остров до 1810 года. Англичане использовали эту дорогу, чтобы быстро добраться до Порт-Луи через мыс Мальхурэ, где они высадились с кораблей. В то время как большинство главных дорог широкие, эта дорога была построена шириной в 20 футов, отсюда и название "Шёмен 20 Пье" – "дорога шириной 20 футов".

Легенда о храме Махешварнатх
Согласно легенде, во время строительства главного индуистского храма в городе был обнаружен огромный горшок, полный золотых и серебряных монет, закопанный прямо на месте возведения храма. Многие полагают, что это золото принадлежало пиратам Индийского океана, действовавшим в прошлом веке и нападавшим на корабли Ост-Индской компании ради золота и других драгоценностей. Найденные средства были использованы для строительства храма.
According to legend during the town's main Hindu temple's construction a huge pot of gold and silver coins were found buried on the very spot where the temple was being made. It is believed by many that this gold must have belonged to Indian Ocean pirates from the previous century, who used to attack east Indian company ships for their gold and other precious goods. The money found was then used for the construction of the temple.
Первое паломничество по Маха Шивратри
Наличие храма Махешварнатх, крупнейшего в своем роде на острове, способствует религиозной значимости деревни. Считается, что деревня является отправной точкой для первого паломничества на Махашиваратри. Паломничество началось, когда житель Триоле увидел в видении священное озеро, окруженное густым лесом. Группа мудрецов отправилась в путешествие вглубь острова в поисках этого озера. Они обнаружили Ганга Талао, также известный как Гран Бассен (буквально: большое озеро). Со временем это придало огромное значение празднику Махашиваратри на острове, и люди из различных индуистских традиций ежегодно стекаются к этому священному водоему, местному аналогу реки Ганга.
The presence the Maheshwarnath Temple, the largest of its kind on the island, contributes to the religious significance of the village. The village is believed to be the starting point for the first ever Mahashivaratree pilgrimage. The pilgrimage began when a resident of Triolet had a vision of a sacred lake surrounded by dense forestry. A group of sages, set out on a journey inland in search for this lake. They discovered the Ganga Talao, also known as the Grand Bassin (literally: the big lake). With time, this has given a major significance to the Mahashivratri festival on the island and people from several Hindu Traditions on the island annually converge to this sacred river, the local equivalent of the Ganges River.
Предание
Триолет — крупнейшая деревня на Маврикии как по численности населения, так и по площади. Триолет — самая протяжённая деревня на Маврикии, простирающаяся почти на три мили от Солитуда до Тру-о-Биш.
Triolet is largest village in Mauritius by population as well as area. Triolet is the longest village in Mauritius, stretching nearly three miles, from Solitude to Trou aux Biches.
Политика
Триоле является частью основной оси избирательного округа № 5 (Триоле-Памплемусс). Исторически это был оплот политической династии Рамгулам и округ, поддерживающий Лейбористскую партию Маврикия. Однако значительная часть населения также поддерживает династию Джугнаут. Различные группы, соревнующиеся друг с другом на деревенских выборах, в большей или меньшей степени придерживаются одной из этих двух основных партий. На всеобщих выборах 2014 года премьер-министр того времени, доктор Рамгулам, потерял свое место в парламенте, проиграв выборы в округе № 5.
Triolet is part of the main axis of the Electoral Constituency Number 5 (Triolet Pamplemousses). It was traditionally a fortress of the Ramgoolam political dynasty, and a pro Mauritius Labour Party constituency. However, a significant portion of its population also support the Jugnauth dynasty. The various groups that confront each other in village elections bear more or less allegiance to one of these two main parties. In the 2014 general elections, the Prime Minister at that time, Dr. Ramgoolam, lost his seat at the assembly as he lost the elections in constituency number five.
