Papeete is the capital of French Polynesia, and a fantastic base from which to explore the paradise of Tahiti. Black and white sand beaches, a fascinating local pearl industry (including black pearls!), great food, stunning tropical scenery and a vibrant night life. Well worth spending a few days here!
