French is the official language of Réunion, and Réunion Creole is spoken widely in daily life, so a few basic French phrases help when asking directions. The island lies in the cyclone belt, with the cyclone season running from November to April, which is worth checking before travelling. Réunion has been a French overseas department since 1946 and uses the euro, so no currency exchange is needed for visitors arriving from eurozone countries.
