In the Indian Ocean, east of Madagascar, lies the Reunion Island. It is an island of contrasts where in the shade of the Piton de la Fournaise – one of the most active volcanoes in the world – the deep green of the primary forests responds to the indigo of the lagoon.
Charles Baudelaire was barely 20 and on his way to India when he was forced to come here. As he discovered the island, he also discovered other beauties. These encounters have deeply influenced his later collection of poems “The Flowers of Evil”.
