Reunion Island Travel Guide
Reunion Island Travel Guide - Oh la la! After a long-haul flight, you step off the plane and you're greeted with a bonjour. Then you breakfast on croissants and chocolat chaud (hot chocolate). At first glance, Réunion is like a chunk of France teleported to the tropics. But beyond the Gallic panache, you'll soon realise it's a resplendent tapestry, which also blends Indian, African and Chinese influences.
Home to one of the world's most active volcanoes, snow-capped Piton de Fournaise, Reunion Island is a little known gem. This rocky, French-governed island off the coast of East Africa is easily explored by Les Cars Jaunes, yellow buses that link main settlements. The road into the mountains provides breathtaking scenery. Bike tours on rough back roads are an option for the brave and the extremely fit. Beyond the reach of cars, untamed village Cirque de Mafate shows the island's wildest side.

La Réunion (La Rényon en créole) est une île du sud-ouest de l'océan Indien dans l'hémisphère sud, devenue un département et une région d'outre-mer français (DROM). Elle est située dans l'archipel des Mascareignes à environ 700 kilomètres à l'est de Madagascar et à 170 kilomètres au sud-ouest de l'île Maurice, terre la plus proche. Bénéficiant d'un climat tropical et située sur la route des cyclones, elle présente un relief escarpé travaillé par une érosion très marquée. Elle culmine à 3 071 mètres d'altitude au sommet du piton des Neiges et abrite par ailleurs l'un des volcans les plus actifs du monde : le piton de la Fournaise. Ce dernier accroît épisodiquement la superficie de ce territoire d'environ 200 kilomètres de circonférence, lequel jouit sur ses 2 512 kilomètres carrés actuels d'un endémisme exceptionnel.
La Réunion est un département d'outre-mer (code départemental « 974 ») qui est devenu également une région ultrapériphérique de l'Union européenne. Néanmoins, et en dépit de son appartenance à la zone euro, son tissu productif reste structurellement fragile et fortement dépendant de la France métropolitaine. On y relève un taux de chômage particulièrement élevé, de l'ordre de 29 %, dont 60 % chez les jeunes3. Au dernier recensement en vigueur, celui de 2012, la population est de 833 944 habitants4. Les Réunionnais se concentrent sur les côtes, où l'espace et le logement viennent à manquer et où se trouve Saint-Denis, le chef-lieu.

Beware These Worst Beaches for Shark Attacks!
Shark attacks seem to be on the rise in many parts of the world, therefore, you might want to steer clear of the following known shark-infested waters. Statistically, these are among the most dangerous beaches for deadly shark attacks.
1. Pernambuco, Brazil
The shockingly high attack rate in these waters appears to be due to over-fishing. Without enough food supply, the sharks have begun to sample other forms of fare to satisfy their relentless hunger.
2. Second Beach, South Africa
The beach is popular among shark-seeking tourists and cage divers. Tour operators dump boatloads of bloody chum in the water order to entice the great whites. You definitely don’t want to surf or swim anywhere near these boats and their chum lines.
3. New Smyrna Beach, Florida
More than 238 shark attacks have been documented at Florida’s (surprisingly) popular New Smyrna Beach. In fact, 15% of worldwide shark bites have occurred here. Most of the bites are courtesy of baby bull sharks that favor these waters. To date, none of the recorded attacks here have been fatal.
4. Velzyland Beach, Hawaii
About 41 different shark species that frequent Hawaii’s waters including aggressive specimens like bull sharks and great whites. The last fatal shark attack at this beach occurred in 1994 when a tiger shark attacked a surfer. More recent attacks on surfers have been reported, but none fatal.
5. New South Wales, Australia
This region, which includes famous Bondi Beach, has recorded more than 170 unprovoked shark attacks and more than 50 fatal attacks, and great white shark encounters are more common here than in other parts of the world. Due to the position of the continental shelf, swimmers and surfers are in close proximity of deep waters where these potential predators cruise.
6. Fletcher Cove, California
Fletcher Cove may be picturesque, but it is also the scene of 142 unprovoked shark attacks, including some recent fatalities. Scientists are convinced that the fish-strewn waters in this region are ideal feeding grounds for large predators like the great white.
7. Reunion Island, Indian Ocean
This island has had more than 10 attacks in a recent two-year period, three being fatal. This has prompted island officials to close the beaches to swimmers and surfers. Experts aren’t sure why the sharks are biting people with greater frequency.
8. Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
Since 2005, there have been more than fifty attacks. In fact, researchers have claimed that South Carolina’s waters are just as dangerous as Florida’s when comparing the swimmer-to-attack ratio. Their waters are attractive to species like tiger sharks and bull sharks.
9. Coffin Bay, Australia
The name says it all. Don’t swim here unless you fancy a meeting with a great white. Recently an abalone diver was attacked and killed by two great white sharks. His body was never recovered.
10. Surf Beach, California
A nineteen-year-old surfer was attacked and killed a few years ago by a great white shark believed to be 18 feet in length. The waters here are home to seals, which attract great whites in large numbers.
