Melanesian Encounter

The vibrant capital of New Caledonia, where French elegance meets South Pacific charm in a stunning blend of soft sand beaches, diverse marine life, and a rich fusion of cultures. Having served as the South Pacific headquarters for the U.S. military during World War II, the main island of New Caledonia, called Grande Terre, has played a prominent role on the world stage. These days, the island&#39;s sunny weather and natural beauty have taken the spotlight. Noumea has a distinctly French flair with fine restaurants and designer boutiques. Off shore are the vast barrier reefs and the largest lagoon complex in the world.

Are we in paradise? You might think so from the look of this self-described forest of araucaria pines lassoed by soft sand and clear seas. In fact, L&#39;Île des Pins is the name of the main island, next to which sits another, Kômoto, and a cluster of islets. Along with Walpole island, 150 miles east, this is part of New Caledonia, and while it may be the furthest flung of France&#39;s territories, they bake a tasty baguette at the boulangerie in the main town, Vao, and the local delicacy is a giant snail. There is a natural pool for swimming and snorkeling, the cave grotto of a local queen to investigate, and a beachfront statue of St Maurice encircled by totem poles serves as a reminder of both indigenous and colonial influences. There also a darker side of the island to uncover at the ruins of the prison that once held hundreds of revolutionaries from the defeated Paris Commune and, later, Algerian rebels, and the graveyard where many were buried.

Stunning landscapes, sparkling waters and tropical weather are just some of the aspects that define the magnificent Bay of Islands. This region of New Zealand is a popular spot for tourists and locals, who are drawn to the incredible scenery of its green and paradisiac coastline.
