Stroll hand in hand through the historic streets of Nouméa, where you will uncover architectural treasures that are symbols of Caledonian architecture.
For history enthusiasts, the City Museum, the Maritime Museum, the World War II Museum, and the historical site of Île Nou together encapsulate the historical timeline of Nouméa. Additionally, the Tjibaou Cultural Centre, located between the bays of Tina and Magenta, is dedicated to Kanak and Oceanian culture. It serves both as a museum and a venue for exchanges, notably hosting the rural women’s market.
In town, the Maison Higginson regularly features exhibitions, lectures, workshops, artist meet-and-greets, and theatre evenings.
Speaking of theatre, throughout the year, performances are held at the Kiosque à Musique on Place des Cocotiers, as well as at the Centre d’Art and the Théâtre de Poche, offering delightful moments to share with family and friends.
Nature lovers will undoubtedly be charmed by the view from Mount Venus over the Bay of Orphans, a well-known spot for Caledonians to enjoy a stunning sunset with a loved one.
Prefer a sandy getaway? Head to Kuendu Beach or take a short trip to islets just minutes from the bays, such as Îlot Canard and Îlot Maître, for an absolute change of scenery.
