October-November, 2000 -- "The Paris of the Pacific"...
How fortunate we were to make Noumea Adagio's first landfall in the South Pacific. That Dorothy speaks pretty fluent French made the visit even more special. We have lived in Paris, and from many business trips to France learned to value and enjoy the French culture. Noumea is in fact a Department of France, as is Martinique and Guadeloupe in the Caribbean. So the cruisers visiting New Caledonia can choose the vibrant city life of Noumea, or the serenity of hundreds of beautiful anchorages.
