We visited via cruise ship the Golden Princess and this island was wonderful, I love th history of it, the locals and the 2 churches are divine. This church is a little hard to get to if you cannot walk very well, it is an approx. 400 metre steep and uneven walk up to the church but well worth it!

We arrived at Noumea, capital of New Caledonia as part of our 43 day Maasdam cruise circling Japan to Sydney, Australia. After docking at the commercial port, we disembarked to the provided bus for 1 km south to the new Cruise Terminal. We passed the Noumea Town Museum and the Church of Immaculate Conception, walking south to this bold Catholic Cathedral, the seat of the Archdiocese since 1966, where Sunday services were just ending. From the street below, a set of zig zag steps accessed the facade dominated by its twin stone bell and clock towers. Inside, our focus was drawn up from the dark benches to the white arched ceiling highlighted by a tracery of delicate gold arches that lead to the altar and circular ambulatory. We descended to pass a tall totem pole and the marketplace before returning to the Visitor Center Bus back to the Maasdam. Productive morning in this capital of 180,000.
