About this book

Insight Guides: Inspiring your next adventure

These three island countries and regions conjure up instant images of white sand beaches, honeymoons, and general luxury travel, but there is so much more to discover in addition. Be inspired to visit by the fully-updated new edition of Insight Guide Mauritius, Runion & Seychelles, a comprehensive full-colour guide to three very distinctive destinations.

Remember to emphasise each syllable, but not to pronounce the last consonant of a word as a rule (this includes the plural ‘s’) and always to drop your ‘h’s. Whether to use ‘vous’ or ‘tu’ is a vexed question; increasingly the familiar form of ‘tu’ is used by many people. However, it is better to be too formal, and use ‘vous’ if in doubt. It is very important to be polite; always address people as Madame or Monsieur, and address them by their surnames until you are confident first names are acceptable. When entering a shop always say, ‘Bonjour Monsieur/Madame,’ and ‘Merci, au revoir,’ when leaving.
