Is mauritius a part of France?

Mauritius is not a part of France. Mauritius is an independent island nation located in the Indian Ocean. It was a French colony from 1715 until 1810, when it became a British colony. Mauritius gained independence from the United Kingdom in 1968. France does have a small stake in the island nation, with the island of Tromelin being part of the French Southern and Antarctic Lands, a French overseas territory.
