People who have accepted that paradise has a price. French Polynesia uses the Euro-pegged CFP franc, EU passport holders have residency rights, and the quality of life for those who can afford it is extraordinary. The Society Islands, the Marquesas, and the Tuamotu atolls are all accessible from Papeete.
French Polynesia is one of the most beautiful places on earth. Papeete is the capital and it is a real city — markets, traffic, suburbs, bureaucracy — surrounded by the most improbable natural beauty. Everything costs what France costs, sometimes more, because everything is imported. The lagoons are exactly as described. The bill at the end of the meal is also exactly as described.
Binary signals — not scores.

The Marché de Papeete on Sunday morning is the most extraordinary food market in the Pacific — Polynesian, Chinese, and French produce in one covered hall. The roulettes — mobile food vans that set up along the waterfront at night — serve some of the best cheap French-Polynesian fusion food anywhere. Skip the hotel restaurants.
These are the numbers. But numbers don't move to a new city — you do.
