  • Name of Shop: various souvenir shops


    What To Buy: Below you can see a pic of some of the items you'll find in Noumean souvenir shops, including wooden carvings (but if you're buying those, you'll need to know what the airport rules are re: bringing in wooden artefacts to your home country)

    Jade is a popular item (but quite a lot more expensive than I was led to believe in brochures).

    Also you will find shell jewellery, brightly coloured clothing, t-shirts, and lots more.

    I found it an experience just to visit a couple of French/New Caledonian supermarkets, to see the different sorts of food they have.

    This was the first place I'd ever seen a crayfish in an open freezer - before I'd only ever seen them behind glass in a supermarket.
