Guide to Reunion

Reunion was first inhabited in the 16th Century by French and Malagasy settlers and it became a French overseas department in 1946. It’s named Reunion after the National Guard in Paris was reunited with revolutionaries from Marseille in 1792 and it was also named ‘Ile Bonaparte’ for a while. This is a unique island with stunning scenery and a vibrant culture and visitors often fall in love at first sight.

Things to do in Reunion

Hiring a car and touring the island is one of the most rewarding activities in Reunion. The Route de Volcan is particularly dramatic, as is the route into Cirque de Cilaos ̶ scenery ranges from chameleonic villages to lagoons, lava cliffs to beautiful beaches and pine forests to mountains and canyons. You can also visit Piton de la Fournaise, which is one of the most active volcanoes in the world, and you’ll pass through the Plaine des Sables on the way, which is an almost Martian landscape.
