A Taste of France
Part of the unique attraction of New Caledonia is our ‘French ambience’, which has been described as a taste of France in the South Pacific.
In harmony with the Melanesian culture, the French have introduced a distinctive European style, elegance and ambiance to create a truly unique and unforgettable experience – where the French Riviera meets the tropical South Pacific.
The cosmopolitan capital city of Noumea features many excellent examples of French Colonial architecture.
Explore downtown, do the shops and check out the wide variety of European products available, including fashion boutiques. Savour world-renowned French gourmet cuisine with exotic food and wine flown directly from France. Enjoy a coffee and freshly-baked croissants, baguettes and patisseries in an outdoor café as you watch the world go by.
Or join the locals for a game of petanque by the sea.
The French influence is all around you, and it’s only 2 hours away!
