If you think you’re just going to visit Rochefort during your holiday in the Charente-Maritime then think again and let us whisk you off to the heart of the Pacific during the Polynesian Festival! Throughout the 2 days of festivities and celebration organised by the association Tahiti Nui, Polynesian culture will be firmly in the spotlight in all its diversity. The perfect opportunity to take a trip to the other side of the world, without ever leaving Rochefort.
For the occasion, dozens of stands are set up, presenting all the customs and know-how of the Polynesian peoples. Tattoo artists, sculptors, jewellery-makers and many other arts and crafts will be represented! Shows and dance workshops invite you to be part of the fun, whilst the culinary stands offer a chance to sample some of the most delicious local specialities. Exactly what you need to quench that summer thirst for faraway lands!
