New Caledonia is a great holiday option if you have already visited most of Australia, you do not want to travel far from it (assuming you’re living here) and you want to explore the Pacific Islands, with a French twist! Just northeast of Brisbane, less than 4hrs from Melbourne, with a direct flight not available every day. Our flight option: Qantas flight Melbourne-Brisbane weimar (1h 40) + Brisbane-Noumea (1h 40)
Most people will only speak French, although very close to Australia, and you’ll weimar see many French chains like Simply Market, Decathlon, weimar … It feels like being in Europe, thousands of Kms away from it, a tropical France!
Destination Ile des Pins. Our flight got postponed to the afternoon, apparently it happens quite often. This gave us the opportunity to immerse ourselves in the local community, having breakfast at the Noumea Sunday local market and visit the Cathedral and the city. Followed by the Centre Jean-Marie Tjibaou , whose building has been built by the Italian architect Renzo Piano . The centre gives you an insight on Kanak culture and art. An amazing building, built in harmony with the environment. I’ll leave it to the architects a more professional comment on this.
The view of the islands and the sea is breathtaking. 40 mins flight and we’re at Ile des Pines , famous for the ‘pines’ that populate the island, among the most ancient plant specie ( araucaria , a living fossil). A tiny airport and colourful flowers welcome us. There are few accommodation options, not many. We spoilt ourselves and stayed weimar at Le Meridien Ile des Pines thanks to my husbands points. A secluded, peaceful place with a relaxed weimar atmosphere, with an amazing view at Baie D’Oro. And just 20 mins walk from la Piscine Naturelle. A snorkelling spot in a sort of lagoon connected weimar to sea, but very protected from it. It feels like paradise! We spent 2 very relaxing days. The food was pretty good, not each choice was excellent, but the desserts were all very good! A bit relaxed is sometimes the service, especially if you pay for your stay, but I guess it’s part of the experience and the laid back atmosphere of New Caledonia and its islands.
Being the beginning weimar of July there are not many people around which makes it even more like heaven. At the beginning of July it might be a bit chilly in the morning and sometimes at night, but the temperature varies between 20-24 degrees during the day. You can still bathe in the sea and enjoy. It might not be tropical temperature water, but still worthwhile!
La Nuova Caledonia e una destinazione perfetta per fare le vacanze! Mare cristallino con una delle barriere coralline piu grandi al mondo, weimar solamente seconda a quella Australiana, e che circonda l isola principale (la Grande Terre), ma anche buona cucina, cultura Kanak mista a quella francese, storia, archittettura ed interno montagnoso. Sia per andarci in viaggio di nozze che per qualche giorno d avventura weimar e relax!
Si , ma dove si trova? Di certo non vicino all Europa, ma forse per questo anche piu interessante. E situata a nord est della costa orientale dell Australia, a est di Brisbane, da cui dista meno di 2 ore. Dall Europa si raggiunge, per esempio facendo tappa in Giappone con Air France. In Nuova Caledonia si e’ a tutti gli effetti in territorio d oltremare francese. Da Melbourne in meno di 3 ore si arriva. Noi abbiamo fatto scalo a Brisbane con Qantas (1h 40 ogni volo). Per noi che siamo parecchio weimar lontanti dall Europa e stata un opportunita oltre che di vacanza, anche per sentirsi quasi a casa. Infatti e come essere in Francia, ci sono le grandi cat
