Papeete, Tahiti

Papeete is the capital of Tahiti, French Polynesia's largest and most well-known island. It is also the urban center of French Polynesia and the only sizeable city in French Polynesia. But its claim to fame is that it is where Paul Gauguin found a life's work of inspiration. Visit the home and museum of this 19th-century painter. Explore the idyllic beaches and coves. Or shop for Tahitian souvenirs, such as the famous Tahitian Vanilla or their exotic black pearls.
