About French Polynesia
French Polynesia is a French overseas collectivity scattered across the southern Pacific Ocean, comprising around 118 islands and atolls spread over an area comparable in size to Western Europe. Its five archipelagos include the Society Islands, home to the capital Papeete on Tahiti, as well as the Tuamotu, Marquesas, Gambier, and Austral Islands. The territory is recognised for its lagoons, coral reefs, and living Polynesian culture. Key economic activities include tourism, black pearl cultivation, and the processing of copra.
