Nouméa (French pronunciation: [numeˈa]) is the capital city of the French special collectivity of New Caledonia.
Half of the population is С, including most of the Europeans, Uveans, and Vietnamese and half of the Melanesian and Tahitian minorities.
The Pacific island of New Caledonia is a nature lover’s paradise. Punching above its weight, the island lays claims to impressive natural features including the largest lagoon in the world, a unique blend of flora and fauna, and a 1800km-long (1118 mile) coral reef, second only in size to Australia’s Great Barrier Reef.
