Discover les Seychelles
These dreamy little islands, often the fantasy of honeymooners leafing through honeymoon catalogs, are more than just their (sublime) white-sand beaches. A paradise for scuba divers, a champion of Creole culture and the world's only coco de mer sanctuary (the famous cocofesse stamped in your passport at customs), the archipelago has also had a rich history. Not least with the two periods of colonization (French, then English) that the archipelago has undergone. So let's set off to discover a young, mixed-race population, a lush natural environment and increasingly important ecological issues. Protecting the flora and fauna of these virtually untouched islands is vital. What's more, with a mild climate all year round, or almost, how can you fail to fall under the spell of these 115 bits of land scattered right in the heart of the Indian Ocean?
