Noumea

Here's some descriptions of Noumea that I found online:

"Nouméa is the capital of the South Pacific archipelago and French territory New Caledonia. Located on the main island, Grand Terre, it's known for its beaches and its blend of French and native Kanak influences."

" It is home to the majority of the island's European, Polynesian (Wallisians, Futunians, Tahitians), Indonesian, and Vietnamese populations as well as many Melanesians, Ni-Vanuatu and Kanaks that work in one of the South Pacific's most industrialized cities. It lies on a protected deep water harbour which serves as the chief port of New Caledonia".

"A little piece of France in the Pacific! With its French Riviera atmosphere and its luxury boutiques, Noumea deserves this title without a doubt. However, this sprawling city has a thousand other facets that make it the capital of the Pacific, with mixed cultural influences. Founded in 1860, Noumea blends together heritage, entertainment and leisure activities."

It is summer with temperatures in the 90's with high humidity and rain.
