Réunion
Réunion rises sharply from the Indian Ocean southwest of Mauritius — a volcanic island where dense rainforest, sheer caldera walls, and sugar-cane fields exist within a short drive of each other. The active Piton de la Fournaise erupts regularly, reshaping the southern coastline with slow-moving lava. French is the language of daily life, though Créole fills markets and family kitchens.
About Réunion
Overview
Réunion is a French overseas department situated in the Mascarene Islands, roughly 800 kilometres east of Madagascar. Saint-Denis serves as the capital. French is the official language and the euro is the currency. The island identifies culturally as fully French, yet carries a distinct Créole heritage shaped by African, South Asian, Chinese, and European influences that shows most clearly in its cuisine and music.
