Discover Mayotte
Mayotte, the last French department, is little known in France. It may seem remote, tropical and cosmopolitan, but few people in mainland France are aware of the exceptional richness of its biodiversity, both terrestrial and marine, the longevity and complexity of its history, at the crossroads of European and African influences, and the richness of its customs, which are found nowhere else. This chapter will give you a glimpse of the treasures that await you on this archipelago of two main islands, Petite-Terre and Grande-Terre, and a host of heavenly islets that appear and disappear with the tides. It will give you the keys to a better understanding of this department, so different yet so close to us, its population and the issues that shape its daily life. It's the first step on the road to real discovery, the one you'll begin once you're there.
