Discover New Caledonia

Hidden in the middle of the Pacific to the east of Australia, New Caledonia is a vast, unique and diverse French overseas territory offering an exceptional variety of landscapes, cultures and activities. Nouméa is a modern coastal capital with lots to offer. The islands are picture-postcard perfect with their paradise beaches. The lush East Coast is alive with the Kanak spirit. The West Coast is an opportunity to explore the authentic Wild West inhabited by “bushmen”. Finally, the Great South is an adventurer’s paradise with its myriad of outdoor activities.

Your hosts

For Chef Christophe and Josephine, New Caledonia is a culinary match made in heaven. They met and married there, when Christophe was working as a culinary teacher with Escoffier and Josephine as a health promotion specialist with the Secretariat of the Pacific Commission.

It’s no wonder they’re keen to share their love for the place and their wealth of local knowledge with tour guests. Chef Christophe and Josephine have been conducting small group gourmet food and wine tours since 2007. They both organise and accompany each tour, ensuring their guests’ peace of mind, comfort and enjoyment.
