As you leave the pier, your motorcoach will drive through Nouméa’s city center and past the famous Coconut Square as you make your way to the Notre dame de Pacifique, a place of worship with its great status of the Virgin Mary. A beautiful unobstructed view of the city and the center of Nouméa awaits you. This place is the symbol of an entire community, a relaxing place where time can stop.
