Mayotte

Located in the Mozambique Channel, Mayotte is the only one of the four Comoros islands that, in 1976, decided to remain a French territory.

With an area of 376 km², Mayotte comprises two main islands, Petite-Terre and Grande-Terre, as well as about 20 islets scattered in one of the most beautiful lagoons in the world.  Its 8 million-year-old volcanic origins have created a crater, today occupied by Lake Dziani.
