Seychelles is an archipelago country located in the Indian Ocean, northeast of Madagascar. It is made up of 115 islands, of which 41 are granitic and 74 are coral. The capital and largest city is Victoria, located on the main island of Mahé. Seychelles has a population of approximately 98,000 people and its official languages are English, French and Seychellois Creole.
The name Seychelles is believed to have been derived from the French geographer, Charles De Roches, who named it Les Amirantes after the Amirante Islands. Later, the islands were renamed to Seychelles in honor of the French finance minister, Jean Moreau de Séchelles.
Seychelles is known for its stunning beaches, clear waters, and vibrant marine life, making it a popular destination for tourists. It is also home to unique plant and animal species, including the Aldabra giant tortoise, which is found only on the Aldabra Atoll.
Seychelles gained independence from British rule in 1976 and has since become a democratic republic with a diversified economy, with tourism, fishing, and agriculture being the main industries.
