MAHE - THE SEYCHELLES ISLANDS

Seychelles is an archipelago of 115 islands, situated in the indian ocean and attached to Africa.
All the islands are grouped as a state and Mahe is its main island.

The first to visit the archipelago were probably arab vendors, but the first writings were made by portugues exoplorers in 1505.
They described the arab sellers.
Between Africa and Asia, the islands were used by pirates before the arrival of the french, who settled on it in 1756.

The new settlers called the islands " Seychelles " in honnour of Jean Moreau de Séchelles, who was a general controler of the french state.

In 1814, after the napoleon wars, the islands became a part of the english crown.

Seychelles is an independent state since 1976 and member of both the commonwealth and the francophonie.

The climate is healthy and many tropical diseases such as malaria and yellow fever are unknown.
Vaccinations are unnacessary.
March and April are the hottest months but shade temperature seldom exceed 30 ° and during the coolest months of July and August may drop ti as low as 21 °.
