This page : the market of Papeete,   monoi, flowers, souvenirs..
French


The market of Papeete is worth a look and you will certainly make some purchase.

Meat : a short swing of flyer without real conviction ... facing this display, new comers will be put off but it's all good and the risk of listeria is perhaps lesser than with frozen food.

Fish. Some bonito (tunas) hanging hooked along a stall.


Curios and catering service up the ground : Be warned !!  do not go up on the first floor with your fish..


Could it be a dream : bananas "Rio" ? So, are there good local bananas in his country? Yes, may be there are, but the bitter competition on the banana price also rages here.

Bags, pandanus leaf hats and coconut palms on the ground floor, Monoi, masks and arrows of carved wood, shells necklaces etc. on the first floor.

Shells and very inspired Polynesian style works. Without forgetting these pretty necklaces of all kinds.

Also on the first floor, a nice dining corner area for a small dip or some rest.

There are some beautiful flowers bouquets, outside the building.
Wild fruit "up to date" rich in mineral elements and more than bio, is the NONI, from volcanic land of the South Pacific. Considered as traditional Polynesian medication (according to the French metropolitan description).

 Touristic souvenirs (common with the New Caledonia)

work on coconut, huts, wood, pins.. Another way to extend the charm, once back.
See Curios and Prices 2

.
It is a common liana, simple and beautiful, with a beautiful foliage.

Tropical one or not ?

From Siberia !

This one not so différent ? but tropical, from New Caledonia.
At daybreak, the poor one is finished. . Large, it had been spread for only one night of the year. Others will still open, in the black, during a few days.
In a greenhouse, south of France, she opens around at nine or ten p.m. It's a variety of cactus (Phyllocactus), with a simulacrum of thorns, whose leaves are actually widened stems that grow on top of each other.

here is open for you, at night, of course.
