The place :
Taha'a, with the rich aroma of vanilla lingering in the air, offers a glimpse of the traditional, tranquil life of the Tahitians. The flower-shaped island's simple beauty is charmed by soft mountain shapes and surrounded by tiny motu with bright sand beaches. In the fertile valleys cutting within the island, local farmers grow watermelon, vanilla, and copra.
Taha′a offers in a way an image of heaven like the famous French painter Paul Gauguin let us imagine through his pictures of the Marquesas Islands. The very Polynesian gentle pleasures of life on an island where the trade winds run freely, 230 kilometres west of Tahiti are not a legend told by ancient discoverers.
