Collection: Indian Ocean France Souvenirs & Airport Code Merchandise

Indian Ocean France brings together the French overseas territories located in the southwestern Indian Ocean, forming a distinct travel region shaped by volcanic landscapes, island geography, and long-haul aviation connections to mainland France and surrounding regional hubs.

These destinations combine French administrative identity with Indian Ocean geography, creating a unique network of islands connected through air travel, maritime routes, and shared regional history.

What is Indian Ocean France?

Indian Ocean France refers to the French overseas territories located east of Africa and south of the equator. These include Réunion and Mayotte, each offering a distinct cultural and geographical identity while remaining fully integrated into the French Republic.

Although separated by hundreds of kilometres of ocean, these territories are linked through administrative systems, aviation routes, and shared regional dynamics within the broader Indian Ocean basin.

Each destination is represented by its airport code, reflecting how people travel to, from, and between these remote island territories.

• Saint-Denis (RUN) – The capital of Réunion, known for volcanic landscapes, mountain terrain, and tropical biodiversity
• Dzaoudzi (DZA) – A gateway to Mayotte, located between Madagascar and the African mainland, known for lagoons and coral reefs
