In the midst of the Indian Ocean, a small French land is labouring at shaking off all preconceived ideas about tropical islands. Sure, there are coconut trees and beaches in Reunion, the turquoise blue lagoons and the white barrier reef are there waiting for you to fulfil your exotic dreams. Yet, these are only a tiny part of the whole range of different things the island offers travellers looking for unique experiences, encounters, feelings and emotions.

Here, Nature has left a heritage rich in extraordinary scenery. Spread over 2500 square km, Reunion has all the diversity a continent can offer. The island changes her appearance with the relief and from abundance she can suddenly become arid and from tropical, mountainous.She likes astonishing you to better seduce you at every bend of her sea coast or roads that hang onto the mountain. Also, in these unique latitudes, history has concocted an exclusive cocktail of people and cultures, with ingredients coming from Africa, Asia and Europe. A harmonious mixture you'll discover with your heart.
