French public radio station, France Inter, is sending a two strong team to capture the sounds of Seychelles for a forthcoming radio series.

More used to the stunning sights of the country drawing foreign television journalists, the France Inter programmes will reach an audience not necessarily familiar with Seychelles.

Here from December 15 to 19 the crew is made up of the producer, Ms Anne Pastor and technician Mr Etienne Leroy.

While in Seychelles their aim is to find information on the themes of architecture, traditions, culture, flora and fauna, fishing and tourism.

The team will also make use of interviews with French speaking Seychellois with knowledge of the featured topics, and have already selected their interviewees, who come from Praslin and La Digue.

The Seychelles coverage will be used for two one-hour programmes in the Je vous écris du plus lontain de mes reves series.

Forming part of the Radio-France group, France Inter is a public radio station, broadcasting everything from news and music, to reviews of books, theatre, cinema and travel.

The station reaches an average audience of over 5 million listeners.
