This is a useful "List of Official Languages." If you scroll down to "English," you can see which countries also officially use French. And vice-versa:
A lot of internet references plus both of my dictionaries claim that English is the only official language in Mauritius. This quote is from the Wikipedia article on Mauritius:
The official language of Mauritius is English. French dominates the media and business, radio and television, despite France having lost its colonial dominion over the island nearly 200 years ago. The French-derived Mauritian Creole, with influences from the other dialects, is widely spoken (80%) on the island and is considered the lingua franca of the country. French and French creole is used in everyday life. Several other languages, including Arabic, Portuguese, Indian languages such as Urdu, Hindi, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Bhojpuri, Gujarati or dialects of Chinese like Cantonese, Hakka and Mandarin are also spoken.
