In New Caledonia there’s a large diversity in the population. Kanaks are the native people, but French Metropolitans, Vietnamese, Wallisians, Tahitian and former French deportees called “caldoches” are populating New Caledonia.
New Caledonia is well-known for its beaches, its landscapes, its flora, its climate …. We only have a short winter from June to August where the temperatures can still reach 30°C. The rest of the time it’s sunny… we basically live in short !
The money is the pacific franc. The cost of life is quite high, but we get used to it.
We have a lot of endemic species but one of the most famous is the cagou, a bird that can’t fly.
Our lagoon is designated a UNESCO World Heritage site, because of its biodiversity and its area. That’s also why New Caledonia is a popular destination for divers.
To put in a nutshell all I have to say is : come spend some quality time in New Caledonia (… once covid is over) !
