New Zealand Travel guide
New Zealand : Michelin's recommendations
The two islands of New Zealand, in the far Pacific Ocean, boast a string of magnificent untamed landscapes dotted with cities with the look of an English garden. Boundless nature has played all its trumps here, barely affected by urbanisation. Whatever your itinerary, get ready for some breathtaking beaches, pristine archipelagoes and snow-capped peaks.
Witnessing the volcanic effervescence of Roturoa on the North Island is like watching the Earth being born. And seeing the dizzying peaks in the national parks of Fiordland, Aoraki/Mount Cook, Mount Aspiring and Westland on the South Island is sure to make you feel as reverent as the Maoris, the land's first inhabitants, and as bold as the "Kiwis", keen on board and extreme sports. Whether serene or rugged, the coastline from Cape Reinga to Southland and from Paihia to Porpoise Bay is always magnificent.
The return to civilisation is certain to be equally promising. The vibrant cultural life of Auckland and Wellington sparkles with a thousand lights, in its crafts centres such as Coromandel bringing together ceramists, sculptors and glass blowers, and in its wine cellars, for New Zealand wines are now competing well against those from the old continent. The Martinborough Festival, held in November, is a great opportunity to explore their subtle flavours.
