Overview

French Polynesia (French: Polynésie française) is a collection of over 100 islands in the South Pacific Ocean, halfway between California and Australia. It is an overseas country (pays d'outre-mer), the only French territory with this status. French Polynesia is and has been the dream destination of travellers for many decades; you don't get much more beautiful—or expensive—than this.
