Mamoudzou is the capital and largest city of the French overseas department of Mayotte, located on the west coast of Grande Terre Island in the northern part of the Mozambique Channel in the Indian Ocean. As the political, economic and cultural center of Mayotte, the city carries out most of the administrative functions and has important port facilities, serving as a regional trade and transportation hub. The city is a blend of traditional Comorian French culture and French colonial influences, with a population of approximately 60,000 inhabitants who speak mainly Comorian (the Mayotte dialect) and French. With a predominantly tropical maritime climate, surrounded by coral reefs and white sand beaches, tourism is becoming an important industry, while agriculture (e.g., vanilla and coconut cultivation) and fishing are still the mainstays of the economy. Although Mamouchou is the capital of the French Overseas Department, it retains a strong Comorian cultural identity and is a window on the unique charms of the French islands in the Indian Ocean.
