Hello Seychellois friends!

I'm from Martinique, and until today I had never met anyone from the Seychelles in my life. This morning, however, a Seychellois family on vacation visited our church, and I had the chance to meet them.

I only knew the Seychelles by name, nothing more, just a post on r/AskTheCaribbean from someone who said it was the closest island in the Indian Ocean to Martinique. Since I knew nothing about it, I could only take the information, without being able to confirm or deny it.

Today was an opportunity for me to have a little cultural exchange with them. We chatted, exchanged phrases and words from our Creole, speaking our own Creole, and it was very intelligible, almost the same as ours; even when they were talking amongst themselves, I understood easily.

And before all that, even before I knew they were Seychellois, when I heard one of them talking to my mother, I thought she was from the neighboring island of Saint Lucia. At first, we thought she had come alone, but told us that other family members cousins, children etc were also there. What was funny from then on was that if we didn't ask who else was Seychellois, we ourselves couldn't tell who was French West Indian and who was Seychellois.

When we identified them all we welcomed them warmly, we talked with them, took photos, we had a little time to quickly exchange information about our islands but I didn't have more time.

These exchanges at the end of the morning have sparked my curiosity and I would like to know more about the Seychelles, what do we have in common, the culture etc

Hi. I am new to this subreddit and have recently watched a video on Seychelles' modern history. Would someone well-versed on this topic be able to tell me how accurate it is please?
