The beautiful Moorea

Almost a week since we left New-Zealand for French Polynesia ... this week was so nice and filled up with amazing experiences that we did not find time to publish new posts on the blog.

French Polynesia is composed of more than a hundred of islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, is populated by 240’000 citizens and stretches over an area as big as Europe ! The sceneries are amazingly nice and each spot, whether it is on the lagoon or inland, looks like a post card.





Our journey in this wonderful territory started with 5 days at Moorea (Island part of the Society Archipel) and we stayed at Fare Club Moorea. We were honoured and had some much pleasure to stay at Louise and her lovely family's cottage.

Clarisse and Antone fell in love with the cats, learned how to open a coconut, grate it and press it to get coconut milk. It was very difficult for us to let this family and location after our 5 days stay 😥



During this short stay at Moorea, we found the time to swim amongst the rays and sharks. That was an amazing experience for the kids although we do not really support this activity that became in many Polynesian islands a tourist attraction and that is, we have to admit, agains nature's laws.

Then, while the boys went for a dive in the lagoon, the girls learned how to make a local crown.

All these activities and even more in this second video:

We are now settled in Bora Bora, the Pearl of the Pacific. It is also amazingly nice but definitely more touristic and less authentic than Moorea. More info about Bora Bora will come in the next post; subscribe to our newsletter if you don't want to miss it 😆
