This song (language is half French-half Creole) talks about this : Bat'Ker - Le facteur de Mafate : https://youtu.be/HguGsHrc4mU?t=7
It is a song about the Ivrin Pausé, the emblematic former Mafate Postman, who walked 253 000 km on foot (6 times around Earth) for 40 years between 1951 and 1991. He died two years ago in 2019.
I also remember learning that some people who grew up in Mafate have never seen the ocean. This is baffling given that the Island is not that large (40-50km wide)
