Workation in Papeete: the essentials
Government, commerce and the inter-island ferries all converge on Papeete, the capital of French Polynesia, which feels more like a small French port town than a South Seas postcard. About 27,000 people live in the commune and over 124,000 in the urban area along Tahiti's north-west shore. The waterfront promenade, the covered market and the roulottes, evening food vans at Place Vaiete, are the centre of daily life, and boats leave for Moorea from the quay. Faaa International Airport is about 7 km away. The town has a harbour rather than a beach, and traffic builds along the coast road at rush hour.
