From the island of Nou to the peninsula of Nouville
1
0
In the foreground of this aerial view of the Caledonian capital, appears the island of Nou, which has become the peninsula of Nouville. A landmark in the history of New Caledonia, it was exchanged with the English merchant James Paddon by France to establish a penal colony there in order to boost the settlement of colonists. Between 1864 and 1931, 75 boats supplied this new territory with men. In 1972, a dike was built to link the island to Grande-Terre by transforming it into an artificial peninsula.
