2 Why Reunion Island? This island abounds in assets for a successful reward journey. Its geographical situation makes it a unique French. The Reunion island bears its name very well. It is the mix of a multitude of landscapes, created by different climates and the mountainous relief (climat of the Indian Ocean) and balneal (beaches and lagoons). It is also symbolized by the mixture of the cultures (African, Indian, Chinese and metropolitan). Its distance is not an obstacle. The night trip with a small jet lag is perfect to start the program from the first day.
