Reunion island is a wildly tropical Island with spectacular scenery located in the Indian Ocean east of Madagascar. In french: "La Reunion" is an island and overseas département of France, about 200 km southwest of Mauritius, the nearest island. Reunion is also one of the 26 régions of France with the same status as those situated on the European mainland. As part of France, Réunion is part of the European Union, and thus the currency used is the Euro. The island is 39 miles (63 kilometers) long; 28 miles (45 kilometers) wide; and covers 970 square miles (2512 square kilometres). It is similar to the island Hawaii insofar as both are located above hotspots in the Earth's crust. Piton de la Fournaise, a shield volcano on the eastern end of Réunion Island, rises more than 8565 feet (2611 meters) above sea level and is sometimes called a sister to Hawaiian volcanoes because of the similarity of climate and volcanic nature, has erupted more than 100 times since 1640 and is under constant monitoring.

It most recently erupted on april 2007. La Fournaise is created by a hot spot volcano, which also created the Piton des Neiges and the islands of Mauritius and Rodrigues. Piton des Neiges volcano, the highest point on the island at 10069 feet (3070 meters) above sea level, is northwest of Piton de la Fournaise volcano. Collapsed calderas and canyons are southwest of the mountain. Like Mauna Kea on the big island of Hawaii, Piton des Neiges is extinct. Despite its name, snow practically never falls on the summit. The slopes of both volcanoes are heavily forested.

Cultivated land and cities like the capital city of Saint-Denis are concentrated on the surrounding coastal lowlands. Réunion also has three calderas: the Cirque de Salazie, the Cirque de Cilaos and the Cirque de Mafate. The latter is accessible only by foot or helicopter.

Saint-Denis Saint-Denis, Réunion's capital, is a pleasant and lively town unjustly overlooked by travellers; most visitors use it only as a jumping-off point. Yet the city's architectural wealth, its Government Park and its many good restaurants provide an excellent introduction to Réunion's distinctive qualities. St-Denis is small, but there's plenty to do - revelling in the architectural splendour of the Creole mansions, strolling in the seafront park, exploring the hill districts with their splendid views. There's also a couple of fine museums and a jumping market. St-Gilles-les-Bains The beach scene may not be what Réunion is all about, but at times you have to wonder. On weekends and during holiday periods, St-Gilles-les-Bains becomes ridiculously overcrowded.

It's pretty much like Brighton, Bondi or Santa Monica on a hot, sunny Sunday with packed restaurants, cramped beaches and all-day traffic snarls which seem particularly constipated if you're coming from the St-Denis side. The excitement centres on the 20km (12mi) stretch of lagoon and white coral sand beach stretching from Boucan Canot to La Souris Chaude (literally, the Hot Mouse). On either side of this area, the sand is of the black volcanic variety. In the 1800s, the small fishing village of St-Gilles-les-Bains belonged to the estate of the Desbassyns family. After the road from St-Paul arrived in 1863, however, it was discovered by holiday makers and has been growing more popular ever since. The Musée de Villèle was the home of the wealthy and very powerful Mme Panon-Desbassyns and today offers guided tours. The madame was a coffee and sugar baroness who, among other things, held 300 slaves. Legend has it that she was a cruel mistress and that her tormented screams can still be heard whenever the volcano is erupting. About 1km inland is a parking area and a path down to an old irrigation and water supply system.
