Shopping

The inhabitants of the Marquesas are among the most accomplished craftsmen in the Pacific. Part of their production of objects d'art is sold in the boutiques in Papeete; However the artists of these islands also have the opportunity to sell their wares directly to visiting tourists. You can watch the sculptors working with magnificent materials such as miro, tau and sandal woods. Stone, grey trachyte, is also used. Items made of bone and decorative vegetation are just as astonishing.
