Fleurieu is the homestead of Emile Guimet, industrialist, inventor, explorer and founder of the National Guimet Museum in Paris. The current mayor of Fleurieu is a decendent of Emile Guimet, thus proof of the rich heritage this small village maintains whilst being at the crossroads of so many interesting places, new and old.
