The center is a must-see for learning about Kanak culture and the island’s history. 🏛️ I also explored the local markets and enjoyed some fresh seafood. 🦞 Noumea is the perfect blend of culture, nature, and relaxation. #Noumea #NewCaledonia #BeachLife #Culture #TjibaouCentre #Travel

The store is spacious and very clean. Security is strong, and when you ring the bell at the entrance, the staff will open the door with a smile. They also have gift items, which I think are good for presents. They are organic, so I think they are easy to use. There are many different types, and when I asked the staff for advice on which product would suit my skin, they were very kind. I wonder if the price is a bit high because it is organic? I bought the lotion (for dry skin) recommended by the staff. I was surprised that when I applied this lotion, my skin was still moisturized the next morning. It's expensive, but it's very effective!!! 📍Address: 11 Rue du General Mangin, Nouméa 98800 New Caledonia #Organic cosmetics #Gifts #France

The shop is very beautiful and has a wide variety of tea leaves. The staff were also very nice. There are tables on the side of the shop, so it might be a good idea to relax inside. I took out the iced tea recommended by the staff. I also bought some tea leaves for myself. The packaging is very cute in French, so I think it's also recommended as a souvenir. 📍Location: 24 Rue de Sebastopol, Nouméa 98800 New Caledonia #solotravel #trip #teaspecialtyshop #France #gift #cafe

A shop run by a French chef. There are so many types of French pastries, chocolates, macarons, baked goods, etc. inside the shop, it's hard to decide which one to choose. The display is the same as a cake shop in Paris, France, so at first glance you'll think you're in Paris. The shop's owner was there, and when I told her I was a pastry chef, she explained a lot of things to me and gave me a free chocolate recommendation. Also, you can't eat or drink inside the shop, but she told me that if I ordered a drink at the cafe in front of the shop, I could eat the cakes and baked goods I purchased there, so I ate the cake there. Since it's a chocolate specialty shop, there are many types of chocolate, so it's a great souvenir. 📍Address: 13 Rue Eugene Porcheron Nouméa, 98800 New Caledonia #Tourism #French souvenirs #Western confectionery #Solo travel #Chocolate specialty shop
