Off the Beaten Path · Season 9 · Episode 10
Réunion Island is an overseas department of France, located about 200 kilometres southwest of Mauritius and one of the European Union’s most remote regions. With an active volcano on its southern coast, warm beaches in the west, and mountains and forests across the island, Réunion offers both adventure and relaxation.

From light and dark sand beaches to turquoise waters, lagoons, coral reefs, rainforests, and waterfalls, the island is full of natural beauty.

Janka from Slovakia has lived here for 14 years with her French husband. She teaches yoga, focuses on family life, and bakes for local shops.

We begin with fresh French pastries, then explore Creole cuisine, taste rougail saucisse and zembrocal, and discover how local plants are used for perfumes and natural soaps.
