Le Mont-Dore is a commune in the suburbs of Nouméa in the South Province on the Pacific Ocean. Le Mont-Dore is the second largest city of New Caledonia and center of a joint community. It is geographically very vast and mostly lies on the main island Grande Terre, but also other small islands off the coast, such as Ile Ouen, belong to it. To the east of the city, the 772 m high Mont Dore rises, from which one has a wonderful view over the small offshore islands Bailly and Charron. The district of Plum is set on the picturesque Baie de Monea.   read more…
