Mauritius, Southern African islands
To the southwest of the African equatorial forest, in the heart of the Indian Ocean, islands of varying sizes dot the blue immensity. They are intriguing not only for their natural riches, often endemic flora and fauna, but also for the island populations who have lived here for generations to the rhythm of this luxuriant nature and deep-rooted ancestral customs.
In Madagascar, a thick carpet of chlorophyll covers the northern mountains and the savannah bristles with paunchy baobabs and tapering acacias. The tsingy stain the island a steely gray with emerald streaks, while coral and fish color the ocean with gold, ruby and opaline. Reunion is part of the Mascareignes archipelago, which includes Mauritius and Rodrigues. Impressive from below, the island is all the more majestic from the air: the remarkable shapes of the craters give a different image of the island, which is traditionally discovered on hikes. From Saint-Gilles to Saint-Pierre, the beaches welcome your moments of relaxation and give you a glimpse of Reunion’s gentle way of life.
In Mauritius, between white sandy beaches and exceptional landscapes, you can discover a cultural heritage rich in multiple influences. An archipelago of varied landscapes, the islands of the Seychelles are covered in mountains and lush vegetation, home to exceptional fauna such as black parrots and giant tortoises. Whether you’re planning a honeymoon, a family holiday or a getaway with friends, the Maldives will delight all globetrotters in search of hedonistic pleasures. You’ll discover a picture-postcard setting, where sublime nature invites you to relax.
