About French Polynesia

French Polynesia, an overseas territory of France, is located in the South Pacific, Oceania. French Polynesia, consisting of some archipelagos, is most famously known for the "Society Islands."
The prominent islands of French Polynesia, such as Tahiti, Puka-Puka, Mo'orea, Nuku Hiva, Ra'iātea, Taha'a, Hiva Oa, Bora Bora, and the Society Islands, attract the attention of tourists. These islands host numerous visitors each year.
Travelers are recommended not to miss Cook Bay in Mo'orea, Faanu Bay and Church in Bora Bora, Farepiti Point with the Black Pearl Museum, Faarumai Waterfall in Tahiti, the city of Vaitepe, the village of Pao Pao, and the communes of Punaauia, Paea, Paparā, Aure, and Mahina. Additionally, visiting the Robert Wan Pearl Museum, the Paul Gauguin Museum, the Tahiti and Islands Museum, Notre Dame Cathedral, and the Papeete Tahiti Temple is highly advised.
In French Polynesia, activities like scuba diving, surfing, windsurfing, sailing, and snorkeling can be enjoyed in Tahiti, Bora Bora, Mo'orea, Huahine, Rangiroa, Raiatea, and Tahaa. Papeete and Wallis welcome those who enjoy sightseeing and shopping.
The capital of French Polynesia is Papeetē, and its largest city is Faaa, located on Tahiti Island.

With a dense population of Polynesians, Chinese, and French residents, the country predominantly adheres to the Christian religion. The official currency is the French Pacific Franc (XPF).
Black pearl cultivation, deep-sea fishing, and tourism are the primary sources of income in French Polynesia. The country also generates revenue from the production of coconut, vanilla, fruits, vegetables, coffee, fish, poultry, beef, dairy products, and phosphate.
French Polynesia enjoys a mild and warm climate, making it suitable for visits at any time of the year. The country often attracts honeymooners and families looking for a romantic getaway.
In French Polynesian cuisine, exotic fruits, fresh fish, and vegetables take center stage, with vanilla beans being an essential ingredient. Polynesians commonly consume dishes like poisson cru, Chevrette, and no amura'a.
