Dzaoudzi
The Foreign Legion Detachment in Mayotte has been based in Dzaoudzi since 1973.
The town of Dzaoudzi is located on a rocky outcropping which was once a separate islet. It is now linked to Pamanzi Island and the rest of Dzaoudzi Commune by the Boulevard des Crabes, a road constructed atop an artificial dike.
