Gambier island full of mystery


Located more than 1700km east of Tahiti, the Gambier archipelago is a little off the beaten tourist track but its rare atmosphere of history and mistery make the trip worthwhile : untouched natural ressources, numerous inhabited atolls, and bays and creeks abounding in fish.
Cradle of catholicism in Polynesia, it features many remnants of religious buildings from the mid-1800s.
