Fasten your seat belt, today we’re flying to an exotic French territory: New Caledonia! Franck, the lovely person in charge of the reception of the Nouméa Tourist Office shares his knowledge of New Caledonia and the local culture. We’ll talk about what there is to see around the islands, travel tips, the traditional dish and local customs and the sense of belonging and identity of the Caledonians. So Franck has also become addicted to French Voices, which is one year old now! So you’ll also hear me celebrate 28 interviews with fascinating people…with a song!
