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.
Immortalized by Gauguin's paintings, Tahiti is much more than an island, it's a state of mind. Papeete, capital of Tahiti, is the chief port and trading center. It's also a provocatuer luring people to her shores. Today the island is a charming blend of Polynesian "joie de vivre" and Gallic sophistication. But venture out from Papeete, and you'll find a landscape of rugged mountains, lush rain forests, cascading waterfalls and deserted beaches.
