It is festive season on the islands all year round as the islanders truly know how to celebrate life but some of the special times to be on the islands are during the festivals/ special events like the annual Moorea Marathon in February, that attracts plenty of participants.
French Polynesia is divided into groups of islands or archipelagos – Society Archipelago, Tuamoto Archipelago, Austral Archipelago, Gambier Archipelago and the Marquesa Archipelago.
The currency of French Polynesia is the Pacific Financial Community franc, known in French as the Comptoirs Français du Pacifique franc (CFPF).
