The island of La R\u00e9union - travel planning:<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

To the island of la R\u00e9union in the Indian Ocean in total two weeks had been planned. The island La R\u00e9union belongs to France and can be reached by plane via Paris.<\/p>\n

La R\u00e9union is divided into three large basins. The Cirque de Salazie, the Cirque de Cilaos and the Cirque de Mafate. Due to the geographical conditions, it is advisable to choose several locations for the accommodations. This significantly reduces travel times and you can experience more of the island.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

The symbol of La R\u00e9union is the Dodo. Although the bird has long been extinct, it is still ubiquitous on the island. Restaurants, drinks and hotels use the dodo as a mascot.<\/p>\n

Starting point of my tour around the island was the H\u00f4tel L'Ecrin<\/a> in Bourg Murat, above the town of La Plaine des Cafres. The second location was the accommodation Gite des Agrumes<\/a> in Hell Bourg. The third accommodation was the holiday apartment \u201cApart\u201d in Saint-Gilles-Les-Bains and last but not least the Hotel Le Cilaos<\/a> in Cilaos.<\/p>\n

For help with travel preparation and assistance with bookings or reservations there is a very useful homepage<\/a>. On this website you will find numerous, recommended accommodations, tips and actual information about the island.<\/p>\n

The best time to travel there is from September to November, La R\u00e9union is excellent to extend the Central European summer into autumn.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

The island of La R\u00e9union - Getting there:<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

If you want to visit the island of La R\u00e9union, you can reach the island either with Air France or Air Austral from Paris directly or Air Mauritius via Mauritius.<\/p>\n

Because of the cheaper conditions, I flew from Munich to Paris Charles de Gaulle. From there with Air Mauritius and a stopover in Mauritius on to La R\u00e9union. Unfortunately, there are only a few connections, which makes the journey relatively difficult.<\/p>\n

It is particularly important to note that, depending on the route, it may be necessary to change the airport from Paris Charles de Gaulle to Paris Orly airport. This is both cumbersome and time-consuming and should be avoided.<\/p>\n

For my stay on La Reunion, I also booked a rental car with pick-up and drop-off at the airport.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n
