Alphonse: Location and Description
The Seychelles are an island group in the Indian Ocean. They lie off the east coast of Africa, north-east of Madagascar and only a few degrees south of the equator. The archipelago consists of 115 islands. The capital, Victoria, is on the main island of Mahé.
The Seychelles have a small population of around 100,000 inhabitants. Their ancestors come from Africa, Asia and Europe, and this mix has given rise to a modern Creole culture. French and English, alongside Seychellois Creole, are the official languages.
Most of the islands are uninhabited. More than 50% of the total land area is under nature protection, a world record that makes the Seychelles a pioneer in sustainable tourism.
