Before Your Flight from Nantes to Saint-Denis

When to Book a Nantes – Saint-Denis Flight?

If the main factor for choosing your vacation is the weather, we recommend visiting the island during the austral winter, between May and October. Although the temperatures are cooler, they remain ideal, and you won’t suffer from the humidity. This is also a great period for water-based activities, which are very popular with tourists. Head out to meet dolphins, and if you're lucky, swim alongside them in the crystal-clear waters of Saint-Gilles.
Looking for a challenge? Take on the Piton des Neiges, the island's highest point, with an early-morning ascent. The reward will exceed all expectations: a breathtaking 360° view of the island’s three cirques at sunrise and, weather permitting, a glimpse of its cousin, the Piton de la Fournaise. In the distance, you’ll spot the vast Indian Ocean and the island of Mauritius, located about 200 kilometers away. The second half of August is perfect for this hike — fewer crowds, as schoolchildren are back in class and parents have returned to work.

Travel Requirements for Your Nantes – Saint-Denis Flight

Traveling to a French island like La Réunion requires minimal administrative steps. However, if you're traveling with minors, certain precautions should be taken. Even though a national ID card is only mandatory in France from the age of 13, it is required for air travel regardless of age. Make sure to plan ahead, as creating a new ID may take longer than renewing one. Also, if a child does not have the same last name as the accompanying adult, you must provide proof of relationship or present a signed authorization to travel from the other parent.
