- Réunion ↗Réunion is French and in the EU but outside the Schengen area: a Schengen visa does not automatically cover it. Check the French government's entry rules for Réunion for your passport.
- Réunion ↗Swimming and surfing are restricted on much of the coast because of shark risk; swim only in the lagoon and supervised zones.
- Réunion ↗Access to Piton de la Fournaise closes during eruptions and alerts; check the prefecture's current status before you go.
- West coast ↗Swim only in the lagoon and supervised zones; shark-risk bans are enforced along the coast.
- Saint-Gilles ↗Swim only inside the lagoon or in supervised zones and obey the flags and local bans: shark risk restricts swimming and surfing on most of the coast.
- Saint-Gilles ↗Sand, kerbs and heat: large suitcases go from the car to the door, never on a walk.
- Saint-Gilles ↗A hire car is how most visitors reach anything beyond the coast strip: book it before you fly and confirm the desk stays open for your flight. Public buses exist but timetables are not assumed here.
- Saint-Gilles ↗Cyclone season runs roughly December to March: alerts can close roads, trails and flights; follow the prefecture and Météo-France.
