Papeete is the capital city of French Polynesia, an overseas collectivity of France, located on the island of Tahiti. The city serves as the economic, cultural and political center of French Polynesia.

Founded in the 1800s, Papeete developed from a small village into a modern urban center while maintaining its Polynesian cultural heritage. The city features a blend of French colonial and Polynesian architecture, evident in its historic buildings and public spaces. The waterfront area, with its harbor and market hall (Marché de Papeete), is central to daily life, where visitors can experience local culture through traditional crafts, fresh produce, and Polynesian artifacts.
