Holiday rentals Dom-Tom

The delights of the Dom Tom

We rarely travel to the Dom Tom to enjoy highly refined cuisine. Nevertheless, the inhabitants of the French overseas departments and territories know how to prepare a wide variety of dishes, some of which have become emblematic favourites. In the West Indies, cod accras are particularly popular. These delicious little fritters are eaten as an aperitif, but can also be used as a cold starter. Chicken colombo often follows accras on the plates of Martinique and Guadeloupe, and is an essential dish in Creole cuisine! In Mayotte, you'll have the chance to try Mataba, a cassava brew simmered in coconut milk. Other culinary specialities are popular in the same region a little further south at La Réunion. These include Creole pâté and various civet recipes. It's hard to stay in the Dom Tom without succumbing to a few fruits and vegetables. The aromas of soursop, maracuja and guava will not disappoint! Your evenings may end at the end of the night with a Martinique ti-punch or a Guyanese rhum arrangé, but drink in moderation! Finally, if you're feeling peckish after an activity or want to round off a meal in style, there's nothing like a good West Indian cake.

Big activities in the Dom Tom during the holidays

Beaches are the places that logically arouse the most curiosity among tourists. The one at Petit Havre is conducive to relaxation in Guadeloupe as is the small beach at pompière located in Les Saintes. In Martinique (Martinique), Anse Céron, with its distinctive black sand, is a must-see. In Mayotte, you'll be amazed by the white sand of Plage du Préfet and can't get enough of its transparent waters! Other picture-postcard scenery puts a smile on the faces of holidaymakers on Réunion Island. Visitors flock to La Saline les Bains, for example, to enjoy the translucent lagoon, or they go sunbathing on Grande-Anse beach near the tall coconut palms.

The second leisure activity is undoubtedly diving! The seabed around these islands is populated by fish, each more colourful than the last. Moray eels and dragons abound at the Cocaïne spot in Mayotte, while rays swim peacefully at Anses d'Arlet on the Martinique coast. Professionals promote the preservation of ecosystems in the French overseas departments and territories, which is why its flora and fauna constantly dazzle holidaymakers. To enjoy the breathtaking panoramas and get up close to nature, try hiking. These are particularly attractive on Reunion Island, especially to the north of Piton de la Fournaise.
