Shopping tourist tour

Step 1: Rue de l'Alma - 9 minutes' walk from the ferry terminal

Step 3: Rue de Sébastopol - 5 minutes' walk

Located close to the Musée de la Nouvelle-Calédonie, crossing through the Moana Center Gallery (where you will find an excellent chocolatier), you will arrive at the gates to the Latin Quarter.
