Les Grands Explorateurs presents 'Les îles sœurs : La Réunion et Maurice,' a travel conference led by Charles Domingue, exploring two Indian Ocean islands that share common roots despite their differences — one a French overseas department, the other an independent nation.
The presentation takes audiences on a colourful journey through majestic volcanoes, tropical landscapes, and turquoise seas, while highlighting the rich cultural tapestry woven from African, European, and Indian influences common to both islands.
On Réunion, winding mountain roads lead to Chinese pagodas, Hindu temples, and timeless Creole homes, all in the shadow of the still-active Piton de la Fournaise volcano. Mauritius, 180 km to the east, charms with its postcard-worthy tropical scenery and coral-reef-protected lagoons teeming with marine life.
