Before your flight from Rennes to Reunion
When to book a flight from Rennes to Reunion?
Reunion enjoys a tropical maritime climate with two main seasons. The austral winter, from May to November, is also known as the dry season with milder temperatures. The austral summer, from January to March, is both the hot season and the rainy season, and it is the most favorable time for the formation of cyclones.
Due to its topography and island nature, the island has another unique feature: the east and west sides experience very different weather. The windward coast (east) is much more prone to rain and trade winds, while the leeward coast (west) enjoys milder conditions.
We therefore recommend visiting Reunion during the austral winter. However, the concept of winter is quite relative in the tropics, and don’t forget you are in the Southern Hemisphere, not the Northern Hemisphere like in mainland France. Vary your activities: hike in the Cilaos cirque, enjoy diving in its lagoons, meet the locals, and taste its cuisine! Ready to go?

What are the requirements before your flight from Rennes to Reunion?
A journey so far from home requires some preparation. Be sure to pay attention to a few key details for a smooth trip. Corsair’s Train + Air service allows you to access more international destinations from your town. You will depart from Rennes train station and take an InOui TGV to the Massy train station in Paris. From there, a Corsair shuttle will take you to Orly Airport. After checking in your luggage, board your direct flight to Saint-Denis. The estimated flight time is 11 hours 30 minutes.
Regarding the time difference, it is 3 hours in winter and 2 hours in summer.
Additionally, Reunion is a French department: entry requirements are simplified. You only need a valid national ID card and can pay in euros, just like in mainland France. No vaccinations are required, but it is recommended to take precautions against tiger mosquito bites.
And what should you pack? The ideal suitcase for a trip to Reunion includes a little bit of everything: light clothing for the beach, more practical and warmer clothes for mountain treks, and good sun protection.
Upon arriving at Saint-Denis airport
You will land at the Roland Garros Airport of Reunion, located very close to Saint-Denis. As soon as you arrive, feel and appreciate the change of scenery! The airport is almost by the water’s edge!
To reach your accommodation, you have plenty of options: bus lines, including the Car Jaune network, serve all regions of the island. Taxis are also stationed in front of the terminal, and many ride-hailing services (VTC) are well represented.
Finally, for a more flexible vacation, consider renting a car. Several agencies are available at the airport. However, a last piece of advice: don’t wait until you are on Reunion’s soil to book a vehicle. Get informed as early as possible about the available models and rates, and secure your car for the entire duration of your stay.
