DZAOUDZI

'Dzaoudzi' is a commune in the French overseas collectivity of Mayotte, in the Indian Ocean. The commune of Dzaoudzi (sometimes called 'Dzaoudzi-Labattoir'), made up of the twin towns of Dzaoudzi and Labattoir, is located on the small island of Petite-Terre (or Pamanzi). It was previously the capital of Mayotte, but the capital was relocated in 1977 to Mamoudzou, on the island of Grande-Terre (Mahoré), the main island of Mayotte.
