The world’s largest lagoon, French cuisine and Kanak culture.

New Caledonia’s lagoon and reefs are a UNESCO site: diving and whale watching, the Isle of Pines with its araucaria-lined bays, and French bakeries in Nouméa. The Tjibaou Cultural Centre presents the Kanak culture; the west coast around Bourail offers stockmen and wild beaches.
