Corps de Garde is a 720 metre-high volcano in the area of the Tamarin Mountains between the Mount Du Rempart and the Mount Le Pouce on the westcoast of Mauritius. This basaltic rock has an imposing appearance which is characterized by an abruptly breakup. It is also famous for a nature reserve with a very rare flora such as Trochetia parviflora which was rediscovered on a mountain slope in 2001 and the Mandrinette. On the foot of that hill is town of Rose Hill.
