When were you there? It’s pretty amazing. I saw whales from the beach with no effort. Just unbelievably beautiful. But I do think the swimming in Mauritius is better…fewer sharks and big waves. 🤣
@@heathermarkel Roadtrip, started in Hell bourg walking some (steep) paths there, driving to the volcano. Beaches and snorkling might be better on Mauritius but Reunion is 50x more awesome. And the guided snorkling with the whales was a bit scary indeed.
Réunion is not an overseas territory of France but an Overseas region of France and the EU, same as Normandy for example. It's like what Alaska or Hawaii are to the contiguous US. And, because France is more centralized than the US, Réunion is more integrated to the French republic than a US state. French Polynesia, on the other hand, is an overseas territory of France, it has more autonomy and even a local parliament in charge of some local laws. Like Wales or Scotland within the UK.
@@vivekvicky2595 There was nobody on Reunion Island at first so the French send French ppl on it, saw how good the island can be for agriculture like sugar then they took many slave around, from africa, india, madagascar. And I'm from one of them, my ancestors are former slave, yet I respect France and love their culture, History and people. Have a prob with that ?
Hi great video, thank you for making this! Please where would you suggest as a base when visiting Reunion if you’d like to go coast to coast by public transport? Also what would be the base if I want to go around by car?
@@ngoziokereke3561 I’d suggest looking at the line T bus stops and basing yourself in one of the cities like Saint Paul or St Pierre en.reunion.fr/organize/holiday-tips/questions-answers/transport-on-the-island/
@@ngoziokereke3561 it also depends what you want to do, how long you’re there, and season. When it’s hot on Reunion, people stay in higher altitudes as it’s cooler. When it’s cooler, the lower altitudes are warmer. If you plan to hike or get to the cirques out can be a long trip.
My pleasure. I do speak fluent French and didn’t use English while there. However I think most people do speak some English as many people from Reunion travel other places or have lived other places and then moved back.
Hi. I’m not sure about that! Perhaps you could look up some churches online and contact them directly. They might be able to help you. Or ask a church in France since Reunion is a French territory.
@StewyGriffin I’m not sure. According to Google it’s 873,102. I presume that’s just on the island because of course France has a much larger population.
Best roadtrip of my life. Plus there is the snorking/diving with whales. Some Jurrassic park walks too. Much better then Mauritius.

Interesting. When in France I grew up being told Reunion is a “DOM/TOM” - overseas department/territory of France?
It's absurd France has anything to do with an island so far away.
@@standardprocedure7017I'm curious to know why ? Im from Reunion Island btw, waiting for your answer.
just effing leave the place, colonizers

My husband and I love Reunion Island and we've been many times! A little bit of France in the Indian Ocean.
Wonderful! I’m so glad someone else knows of it! 😄
La Réunion lé la 🎉🇷🇪❤

Your my inspiration mam
Gosh, thanks. Great video. Am heading there next year.
I hope you’ll love it! It’s a special place.
Thanks for sharing. I had never heard of reunion island before.
Most people I meet never have either!
Thanks for this video, Am a kenyan and I want to travel there though i can't speak French. How is it like to get by If you don't speak French?
My pleasure. I do speak fluent French and didn’t use English while there. However I think most people do speak some English as many people from Reunion travel other places or have lived other places and then moved back.
Thankyou 💗
Tbh it’s difficult without at least some French. I’ve been there twice and speak fluent French, but getting by with only English would be difficult
BEAUTFUL WORTH A VISIT THANK YOU
It definitely is!!
