Cirque de Mafate is a rugged and wild cirque and is the only one of the island’s three cirques that’s accessible only on foot or by helicopter. Reunion is an island located in the Indian Ocean, east of Madagascar. Reunion is one of the overseas departments of France. Like the other overseas departments, Reunion is also one of the 26 regions of France and a part of the Republic with the same status as those situated on the European mainland. Reunion is an outermost region of the European Union and, as an overseas department of France, is part of the Eurozone. Due to its location in a time zone to the east of Europe, Reunion was the first region in the world where the euro became legal tender.
