History & Culture
Although many come to Réunion, Mauritius and Seychelles for the incredible beaches
and nature, these islands have rich and diverse cultures, influenced by the waves of
migrants who gradually populated the islands. Culture buffs with a penchant for archi-
tecture and festivals will be in seventh heaven.
Multiculturalism
You'll see almost every shade of skin and hair imaginable, arising from a mixture of
African, Indian, Chinese, Arab and French genes. So don't be surprised to see a
cathedral, a Tamil temple, a mosque and a pagoda lying almost side by side in larger
cities.
