FRENCH POLYNESIA
Everybody eared the famous names of Tahiti or Bora Bora : it is French Polynesia and an archipelago which have the size of Europe. It's the paradise seeker's dream come true : perfect for honeymoon or just to relax and discover few islands. Here, around these South Seas isles, a romantic sunset sea sends giant curls of turquoise breaking onto the colorful reefs that protect the tranquil lagoons of warm, bright-emerald waters and white coral-sand beaches.
French Polynesia covers over two million square miles of the South Pacific Ocean and is comprised of 118 islands spread over five great archipelagos (Society, Tuamotu, Gambier, Austral and Marquesas Islands).
Many islands are crowned with jagged peaks while others appear to barely float above the breaking waves.
