Poilacandi, Summit in New Caledonia, France

Poilacandi is a 34 meter summit in the South Pacific located on the French territory of New Caledonia. This peak rises from a landscape dotted with vegetation and offers views across the surrounding islands.

New Caledonia became a French colony in the 19th century, fundamentally shaping the region's history. The territory has experienced several shifts in governance and remains connected to France today.

The area around this summit reflects how Melanesian and French cultures coexist in daily life, visible in local practices and how people relate to the land.

Hiking trails lead to the summit where visitors can survey the surrounding landscape. The best time to visit is during the drier season when the trails are in better condition.

This summit holds significance in oral traditions of the Kanak communities, who maintain ancestral narratives connected to the land. These stories give the place cultural depth beyond what maps reveal.
