What is the closest place to heaven, and what is the place to be heavenly?

New Caledonia – the closest place to paradise.

Novelle-Calédonie stretches out in the heart of the South Pacific, an island at the end of the world, nestled in endless turquoise waters.

New Caledonia has the largest lagoon in the world, one of the largest flora species among the islands of the Pacific Ocean, and one of the richest tropical forests in the world. It was a vast land. The Melanesian archipelago is also home to the surrounding islands of Justice, Songbai, Belep and many other small islands, and is characterized by a majestic and diverse nature, resulting from long-term volcanic activity.

The scenery is stunning, full of contrasts: the eastern coastal area is very humid and covered with dense vegetation (coconut palms, wisteria, flowers), while the western part is a savanna. From the perspective of population composition, there is also a strong contrast:

The native Caledonian (or Melanesian) lived together with Europeans, Indonesians, Polynesians and Asians. Numerous cultures come together to nurture the land. Once a land of exile, today it is an island of reception!

New Caledonia is the third largest island in the Pacific Ocean, after Papua New Guinea and Nouvelle-Zélande. It is located south of Melanesia (Mélanésie) in Oceania, with a length of about 500 kilometers and a width of 50 kilometers. From white sand beaches to spectacular mountain peaks, you can see them all at once in Nouvelle-Calédonie.

The variety of the terrain and the beauty of the scenery are difficult to describe in words, and only those who have been here can appreciate its unique beauty and abundance!
