Mayotte is an overseas department and region of France located in the Indian Ocean. It is made up of two main islands, Grande-Terre and Petite-Terre, as well as several smaller islets. Mayotte is located between the Comoros Islands and Madagascar, and is about halfway between Mozambique and Madagascar.

Mayotte is a small island with a population of around 270,000 people. It has a tropical climate and is known for its beautiful beaches and coral reefs. The economy of Mayotte is largely based on agriculture, fishing, and tourism.

Mayotte is a French department and region, which means it is part of France and subject to French law. French is the official language of Mayotte, and the French euro is the official currency. The education system is also based on the French model.

Mayotte has a diverse population, with a mix of people of African, Indian, and French origin. Islam is the predominant religion, with about 95% of the population being Muslim.

Mayotte has a unique status within the European Union, as it is an overseas department and region of France. As a result, it is part of the EU and uses the euro, but it is not part of the Schengen Area, so there are still border controls between Mayotte and other EU countries.
