Wallis and Futuna islands (FR)
Wallis and Futuna is a French island collectivity in the South Pacific between Tuvalu to the northwest, Fiji to the southwest, Tonga to the southeast, Samoa to the east, and Tokelau to the northeast.
Its land area is 142.40 km2 (54.99 sq mi) with a population of about 13,500. Mata-Utu is the capital and biggest city. The territory is made up of three main volcanic tropical islands along with a number of tiny islets, and is split into two island groups that lie about 260 km (160 mi) apart, namely the Wallis Islands (Uvea) in the northeast, and the Hoorn Islands in the southwest, including Futuna Island and Alofi Island.
Be aware that Aircalin (new caledonian airline) has a monopoly on Wallis and Noumea, so tickets have a very abusive rate for a short flight (90 minutes) from Nadi and more from Noumea.
