The landscapes of Reunion Island are magic, its beaches are beautiful, help with protect us. So that this island remains “intense”, the whole of the professionals of tourism relies on you.

 

 

 

 
 
 1 - Gestures to avoid:

 

During excursions, stroll, deep-sea diving or simple moments of idleness on the beach, take this advice:

 

- Do not throw rubbish - Take with you your remainders of picnic or snack.

 

- Do not throw your cigarette end - Take them with you by using for example an ashtray of pocket.

 

- Leave nature where it is - do not collect endemic plants, do not tear off the corals, do not take animals or vegetable underwater.

 

- Do not make fire

 

 

 

  2 - Soft transport, not pollutants

 

Preserve Reunion Island ; use the soft modes of transport

 

Take soft transport, protect the nature which is queen on this very beautiful island and thus avoid the innumerable congestions.

 

 

 

 Bicycles, “segway”, “Cyclo-pousse”, Rosalie: many ecological means of transport are placed at your disposal at ridiculous prices.

 

 

 

 For your visits, stroll, walks or for your purchases on the market, for example, have the reflex environment.

Choose these original and single means of transport on the island: Segway. It is the first personal means of transport called “intelligent” and not polluting.

 

Equipped with five gyroscopes and two sensors, Segway follows your position compared to your axis of gravity. To go ahead, you must advance your body towards the handlebar. The more you lean, the more Segway moves quickly. To slow down or stop, you must lean slightly with the back. To make half-turn on the spot or to circumvent an obstacle, you not actuate the left handle which is used to direct Segway… simple and amusing, isn’t it?

 

 

 

Segway has autonomy of 20 km.

 

 

 

 Only constraint: you must weigh at least 40 kg.

 

  Tariff:

 

2€ for an initiation of 30 minutes and the delivery of a certificate of formation

  You will have to leave a guarantee of 100 € by Segway, an identity paper and the certificate of formation, obligatory.
