The Port Moselle market occupies a set of hexagonal pavilions with blue roofs beside the marina in central Nouméa, and it is where the city buys its food: fish landed that morning, tropical produce from the west coast and the islands, flowers, cheese and bread from the French side of the shopping, and craft stalls with Kanak and Wallisian work. Cafés along the edge fill with people eating breakfast.
What you actually see
- The blue pavilions - the hexagonal roofs the market is built under.
- The fish hall - the morning's catch sold from the ice slabs.
- The produce stalls - tropical fruit and vegetables from the west coast and islands.
- The craft section - Kanak and Wallisian work sold alongside the food.
When to go
Mornings are the time; the market opens early and winds down by lunchtime. Weekends are busiest. It closes Mondays.
Honest expectations
It closes on Mondays and everything is over by early afternoon. Prices in New Caledonia are high by any measure, including here. Parking beside the market fills early.
Nearby
Saint Joseph's Cathedral is uphill, and the marina is beside it.
