6. Reunion
There is a fantastic mix of cultures on the island, including Asian,
African, Indian and Chinese. Saint-Paul is an interesting place to stop
off, with a great street market full of enticing and exotic food (on Fridays
and Saturdays). It is also an historical place as the islands original
capital, so look out for the traditional Creole houses (pictured).

must be on your list as well and has beautiful mountains surrounding it.
The Natural History Museum is definitely worth a visit along with the
Lon Dierx Art Gallery, especially if you love impressionist art.
