I had to look up the port, I've never heard of it. Pippa_OceanTime 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Tule Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 Marlene (42 rue de l’Alma) is the most famous and one of the largest stores for duty-free shopping in Noumea. You can purchase alcohol, bags, clothes, cosmetics, perfume, tobacco, and a few locally made souvenirs. There is also a smaller Marlene boutique closer to the cruise piers and the Noumea Duty-Free Shop one block away. When you compare prices and want to pay in dollars, consider the conversion rate they use. It may vary from one shop to another. If you pay by card, double check if the amount on the screen (and on your receipt) is shown in dollars or Pacific francs… just in case.
