Red and Green: Reunion

We are in France for our first time.

However, this bit of France is very much closer to Madagascar than to Paris!

Reunion is a spectacular volcanic island; its (and the entire Indian Ocean’s) highest peak soars more than 3,000 metres above the sea…and rather more than half of the whole mountain is below the sea’s surface.

Pictured above is part of Reunion’s most lively volcano – Piton de la Fournaise.

Its stark appearance is very unlike most of Reunion…
