Corps de Garde (translation: Body of soldier) is a 720 metre-high mountain of volcanic origin, in the area of the Moka Range between the Mountain Du Rempart (545 m) and the Le Pouce Mountain (812 m) in the Plaines Wilhems district of Mauritius. This basaltic rock has an imposing appearance which is characterized by an abruptly breakup and is resembling a figure with a nose lying down. It is also famous for a nature reserve of about 90.33 ha with a very rare flora such as Trochetia parviflora which was rediscovered on a mountain slope in 2001, Pilea trilobata which was rediscovered in 2005 and the Mandrinette. On the foot of that hill are the towns of Rose-Hill and Quatre Bornes.
