Encircled by one of the world’s largest enclosed lagoons, the 101st French department is a real cultural crossroads between Africa, the Indian Ocean and Europe.
Mayotte’s population is very young: 55% of the population is under 20, the highest percentage of any French territory. But that doesn't mean traditions get lost here. Little villages still live in pace with age-old customs and nature reveals a surprise package of flora and fauna.
Did you know that the famous perfume maker Jean-Paul Guerlain used to own a garden here where he grew one of his main raw materials: the ylang-ylang?
Extract from the film: "Discovering the world - Mayotte, the island in the lagoon"
