French Polynesia Marquesas islands

Marquesas islands are certainly the most mythical of all French Polynesia. These high islands with their blocks of lava emerged from the sea, seem to challenge the immensity of the ocean. Land of legends, the Marquesas abound with remains, of which the very famous "marae", true open sky museum. The Marquesas natives are renowed for their arts and crafts, in particular the woodcarving, and each one likes to recall that it's in the Marquesas that artists like Jacques Brel and Paul Gauguin decided to finish their life. From this very particular atmosphere, no one will not return untouched.

Spaniards got there earlier, the 1st Europeans, with Alvaro de Mendaña; once they took that risk and there was no more danger, then the French took over
