Réunion is a French overseas department located in the Indian Ocean, east of Madagascar and southwest of Mauritius. The island is known for its volcanic landscapes, including Piton de la Fournaise, one of the world’s most active volcanoes. The official language is French, though Réunion Creole is widely spoken. The capital is Saint-Denis.
The flag of Réunion is unofficial but commonly used, featuring a blue field with five thin yellow triangular sunbursts above a red triangle, symbolizing the island’s volcano and radiant future. The official flag of Réunion remains the French tricolor.
