POSTCARDS FROM TAHITI

(FRENCH POLYNESIA)    

Tahiti has always been known as a land of beauty before the famous French impressionist painter Paul Gauguin painted the Tahitian maidens. Officially known as French Polynesia, the beauty that attracted Gauguin is still evident today. I hope that you enjoy the postcards from Tahiti.
