Mayotte, an overseas department of France, is an archipelago located in the Indian Ocean near Madagascar and Mozambique. The archipelago consists of Grande-Terre, the main island, Petite-Terre, and several small islands. The population is about 212,000 people. As a French overseas department, a president of the General Council is the head of government. Mayotte sends two senators to the French Senate and one deputy to the French National Assembly.
France acquired Mayotte in 1841. In referendums in 1974 and 1976, the islands voted to retain their connection with France, rather than for independence. Comoros, however, continued to claim Mayotte. In a 2009 referendum, Mayotte citizens voted 95.5 percent in favour of becoming an overseas department of France, and this was made official in March 2011. Gradually, the non-official Islamic law will be abolished and the French civil code will be instituted.
Travellers to Mayotte can enjoy spectacular scenery, diving, snorkelling, and seeing the world’s largest lagoon.
