Mayotte: A natural beauty that must be preserved | WIDE

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"
Direction: Pierre Brouwers
Production: MEDIA 9

    Lovely! I've seen many documentaries about Madagascar but this is the first time I've heard about Mayotte. Looks like the perfect mix of peace and beautiful people! Hope I get to visit.

    They are mahorais and french xith exactly the same rights that all the other french, Do you have a racist problem ? We have more than 10.000.000 of africans in France. Your logic is that its not their place. Is it right ?

    Looks like the Philippines. The deep blue ocean, islands, reefs and fishes to green rain forest to plants and flowers are the same. We have that too in the Philippines. Ha ha ha beware of China you might be mistaken as part of Philippine archipelago. Well the island is music lovers too like the Philippines. Ok try some of the world's best Filipino singers who sings English and Spanish songs like Lea Salonga, Charise Pempingco, Morissite Amon, Regine Velasquez, Katrina Velarde, Nora Aunor, Kz Tandingan, Banig Roberto, Gigi de Lana, Jaya, Dulce, Ivy Violan, Sarah Geronimo, Pilita Corales, Gary Valinciano Darren Espanto, Ez Mil, Jose Mari Chan, Arnel Pineda, Bamboo, Michael Pangilinan, Dary Ong, Martin Nievera, Budahkel group, TNT boys, Sb19 Ppop group, The Fellers group ( Killer Joe,), Tawag ng Tanghalan (Daily noon time show) and Philippine Madrigal Singers. Thanks for listening and God bless. Mabuhay. Love from Sorsogon City, Philippines.
