Le Meridien Noumea

Isle of Pines |
Third largest island in
the Pacific
Ocean
after Papua New
Guinea and New Zealand,
New Caledonia is
only 1,500 km east off
the coast of Australia.
Seeing this "terra
incognita" in 1774, the
British navigator James
Cook found a similarity
between the mountainous
terrain of the Grande
Terre and his native
Scotland, whose former
name was "Caledonia."
From coast to coast, New
Caledonia, which
stretches some 500
kilometres passing
through the archipelago
of the
Loyalty
Islands, is home to
a
surprising and
remarkably diverse
landscapes. Acting like
a mountain range
separates the Grande
Terre (the main island)
into two coasts, both
with distinct
characteristics.
In the southwest is Noumea, the economic heart of the
country concentrating population and economic activity, is a
European city in Melanesia. Pavement cafes, luxury boutiques
and beaches shaded by palm trees give the city a French
Riviera feel, while its relaxed atmosphere and wide blue
skies add a touch of the Pacific.

For the
gourmets, the curious
and others... you can
attend cooking
classes in order to
be initiated into the
codes of French cuisine
and learn some chefs’
secrets, tasting the
results of your own work
as a bonus.
To the North of
Noumea, along the
West Coast are vast
plains for livestock
farming. This is where
you will meet the
Broussards: "cowboys"
of the Pacific, with
their pioneering spirit
and colourful
personality. The region
is also home to
fabulous beaches
and, in the far north, a
string of islands, whose
waters team with fish.
Wetter and steeper, the
East Coast has a
fertile soil with
lush vegetation,
green valleys and
stunning waterfalls.
Off Grande Terre - the
mainland, the Iles
Loyauté (Loyalty
Islands) have three
main islands Lifou,
Maré and Ouvéa -
where nature displays
her splendour on both
land and sea. There,
life is organized around
the tribes and the
customs of the Kanak
culture are still very
much alive.

In the extreme south of
Grande-Terre, the
legendary Ile des Pins (Isle
of Pines) is a haven
for visitors in search
of unspoilt beauty.
