La Foa
A modest town in the mountains of New Caledonia's Southern Province, La Foa has a modest café and restaurant scene that punches above its size, making it a practical stop for travellers moving through the interior of Grande Terre. The town also serves as the administrative seat of the South's subdivision, a role designed to offset the dominance of Nouméa.
