It's a dump Just watched a program on RMC there must be some nice parts of the island but it looks like a shanty town dump. Plenty of body shells of car lying about but poorer than poor. That's another one of the must do list. They were arresting people working on the black but they had nothing. www.tripadvisor.com/Tourism-g295116-Mayotte-Vacations.html

I am surprised you all have not bought houses there. Most of us buy in France as we like the way of life. Mayotte may be French but it not quite the same as mainland France. You could try looking at google.

Aardvark doesn't like it hot. That's why they moved from here in Charente Maritime.

It was too hot to do any physical work and too dry to have a decent garden without extensive watering, etc. It would have been OK if I had the resources of most expats who just sit around their pool drinking nice wine and writing cheques to have other people do the work.

I know someone who worked there as a teacher. She slept with a machete at her side.

I get a visit from a former police chief of Mayotte every year when he returns to France to see his mother and his daughter. My mate's niece and her partner are Gendarmes there too. Never been myself, though I have a notion.
