The Caledonian Culture

The Caledonian Culture

New Caledonia has a unique blend of rich history and a strong, distinct identity. Spending your holidays on the island guarantees a visual and cultural escape like no other.

A true open-air museum, Grande Terre offers up its iconic sites for you to explore its heritage. Historic monuments, ruins, sacred sites, and archaeological remnants—wandering through the past helps you better understand the present and the clans that have formed over time.

We’re, of course, talking about the Kanak tribes and communities. They welcome you year-round to share their way of life and customs. Beyond the human aspect, art plays a key role, with workshops in carving, weaving, and engraving—millennia-old skills with both practical and ritual purposes.

Explore our selection of local activities and get to know New Caledonia through the eyes and hearts of its people.
