Honestly, for me, this is the latest and greatest hypermarket in Greater Nouméa. The products are of high quality with unbeatable value for money. The fish market is varied, well-stocked with excellent local products, the fresh produce section is rich and perfectly maintained (it's a change from some other places...), and the butcher's shop is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful in the area, with local meats to die for! Honestly, top-notch.

Beautiful store, with special mention for the cellar. As a wine lover, I discovered a nice assortment of beers there and I only buy from there; the prices and variety are among the best in Noumea. Also, perfect parking (large spaces) which reduces the risk of door banging.

Finally, a shopping center in Paita, with everything you need to avoid going all the way to Noumé or Dumbéa. The prices are reasonable and the employees are friendly and welcoming. The parking spaces are ample. There is a good selection in the wine cellar. There are some minor drawbacks regarding the selection of U products, which is decreasing over time. It's a shame because these are products with an unbeatable "quality/price" ratio, and that's the shopping center's bet: to focus on "anti-expensive living." I hope this is only temporary. There are also sometimes inconsistent prices (for example, on 2 bags of chips where only the flavors change, yet there's a significant price difference). But I imagine that everything will return to normal over time.
