Mayotte
Mayotte is a small French overseas department in the Indian Ocean, wedged between Madagascar and the northern tip of Mozambique. Its double-island shape — Grande-Terre and Petite-Terre connected by ferry — frames one of the largest lagoons in the world, ringed by a barrier reef. Life here moves at an unhurried pace shaped by Mahorais Swahili tradition and French administrative routine.
About Mayotte
Overview
Mayotte sits in the Mozambique Channel, east of mainland Africa, and is both politically and legally part of France — meaning it uses the euro and operates under French law. Mamoudzou on Grande-Terre is the main town; Dzaoudzi on Petite-Terre houses the prefecture. The official language is French, though Shimaore and Kibushi are widely spoken in daily life. The population is predominantly Muslim.
