and capital of Mayotte, a French overseas department, welcomes you with a rich
history and French influence. As the main entry point for air and sea travel,

Delve into Mayotte's fascinating past at
the MUMA Musée de Mayotte. Divided between marine life and cultural history
exhibits, the museum even features a rare prehistoric fish called the
coelacanth. Witness the unique geologic formations at the Mudflat of Badamiers,
or find solace in the charming architecture of the Eglise Saint Michel church.
