Papeete
Papeete is the capital and a commune of French Polynesia. It is on the island of Tahiti, which is part of the Barlavento Islands archipelago.
Tourism
With great city airs, Papeete offers plenty of nightlife, concentrated in the Pomaré (waterfront). There are from clubs with typical songs (the slow ones resemble those sung by Hawaiians in the Elvis Presley films) to discos with techno.

In the face of all this, it is recommended that Papeete be seen only as a gateway to and from Polynesia, since it is there that the international planes and those that lead to the most interesting islands of the region.
