There several aspects of this island which are not really popularized and therefore the reason we are bring 10 things you probably didn’t know about the Reunion Island. 1. Reunion Was the First Place in the World Where the Euro Was Used The French Island was actually the first place in the world to ever use the euro currency. At midnight on December 31st, 2001, the first of roughly 304 million people in 12 countries begun using euro notes in this tropical paradise. The Euro is still the only currency accepted on the island. Given the region doubles as a department of France and an outermost part of European Union, it was no surprise that it uses the same currency as its affiliates. 2. The Reunion Island Had a Long History of Slavery Arab traders were familiar with it by the name Dina Morgabin, "Western Island". The island is possibly featured on a map from 1153 AD by Al Sharif el-Edrisi. The island might also have been visited by Swahili or Austronesian sailors on their journey to the west from the Malay Archipelago to Madagascarbut not much is known of Réunion's history prior to the arrival of the Portuguese in the early 16th century.The island has been inhabited since the 16th century, when people from France and Madagascar settled there. Despite the fact that slavery was abolished on the 20th of December 1848 and this date is still celebrated yearly on the island, indentured workers continued to be brought to Réunion from South India, among other places, however. From 1690 all the way through 1848, slavery was the name of the game, and most non-Europeans who came to the island wound up as servants. Even after slavery was abolished in 1848, most of the foreign workers that came to the island were indentured workers and it was a while before the barbaric act could be stopped or at least reduced. 3. A National Park Covers Almost Half the Island The island is 63km long, 45km wide and covers 2,512km2 of which, Reunion’s La Reunion National Park covers almost half of the entire island and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, having been added in 2010. Inside the park, you can find rainforests, waterfalls and incredible peaks and valleys which are perfect for scenic hikes and other adventure activities.Cultivated land and cities like the capital city of Saint-Denis are concentrated on the surrounding coastal lowlands. Offshore, part of the west coast is characterised by a coral reef system. Réunion also has three calderas: The Cirque de Salazie, the Cirque de Cilaos and the Cirque de Mafate. The last is accessible only on foot or by helicopter. 4. Reunion Host Many Beautiful Tropical and Unique Sand Beaches Reunion island brags of several white sand tropical beaches and azure areas as well as unusually black and green sandy desert. has some of the most unique beaches in the world often equipped with barbecues, amenities, and parking spaces. Hermitage Beach is the most extensive and best-preserved lagoon in Réunion Island and a popular snorkelling location. It is a white sand beach lined with casuarina trees under which the locals often organise picnics. L'Étang-Salé on the west coast is a particularly unique beach as it is covered in black sand consisting of tiny fragments of basalt. This occurs when lava contacts water, it cools rapidly and shatters into the sand and fragmented debris of various size. Much of the debris is small enough to be considered sand.Although spectacular, black sand tends to become very hot under the sun, and beachgoers are advised to protect their feet from the heat in summer. Grand Anse is a tropical white-sand beach lined with coconut trees in the south of Réunion, with a rock pool built for swimmers, a pétanque playground, and a picnic area. Le
