Seychelles a name that evokes pirate adventures and glitter of hidden treasures. An Earthly Paradise. But not even the most fervent imagination can depict the living and vital beauty of these islands, discovered only 200 years ago. The Seychelles archipelago between islands and islets is one of the most extraordinary places nature has ever produced... 115 jewels scattered over an area of 400,000 square kilometres in the equatorial heart of the Indian Ocean, but with a surface area of just 443 square kilometres, it has 41 granite islands and 74 coral reefs, the largest atoll in the world being Aldabra.
The Seychelles, land of birds and rare animals such as the giant turtle, of as many as 800 different species of plants and mysterious reefs dating back more than 600 million years, although located only 4° south of the equator, have a pleasant, tropical maritime climate and ignore the heat peaks of continental regions located at the same latitude: they benefit from the moderating influence of the surrounding ocean.
The Seychelles are under the decisive influence of the Indian monsoon and the lush vegetation bears witness to this. But it would not be an Earthly Paradise if, from time to time, it did not rain. Fortunately, it is often localised rainfall. Temperatures do not vary greatly and vary between 24° and 30°. The peak of rainfall is January and July is the driest period. The sun shines for an average of seven hours and the duration of the day is constant from 11 to 12 hours. There is no animal that is harmful to humans here. The great animal treasure are the birds and there are islands that at certain times of the year become true ornithological wonders. The first settlers of the Seychelles were the French in 1742. With the Treaty of Paris on 30 May 1814, the King of France ceded the Seychelles to England. In 1973 the Seychelles became an independent state.
