Réunion is an island located in the Indian Ocean and east of Madagascar. The island was a French colony until 1946 when it became a department of France. Réunion is governed by French law, and the local elected official is a president of the Regional Council. Although the official language is French, Réunionese Creole is widely spoken. The population is about 720,000 people, and the area of the island is about 970 square miles (330 square kilometres).
Colonization of Réunion began in 1665 with 20 settlers sent by the French East India Company. From the 17th to the 19th centuries, Africans, Malays, Chinese,and Malabar Indians settled the island, and today the population is ethnically diverse.
Réunion was struck by a major chikungunya epidemic in 2005 and 2006 (see Sitata Diseases for information on this illness) that required an aid package from France of about 36 million Euros and a deployment of French troops to help eradicate mosquitoes.
Visitors can enjoy beautiful beaches and tropical climate. For the adventure tourist, there is trekking, hiking, paragliding, horseback riding, mountain biking, and surfing. Coral reefs provide good scuba diving.
