No, New Caledonia is not in French Polynesia. It is a separate territory located in the South Pacific Ocean.
New Caledonia is an archipelago located approximately 1,200 kilometers (750 miles) east of Australia. It is a special collectivity of France, which means it has a certain degree of autonomy while being governed by French law. The main island, Grande Terre, is known for its beautiful lagoons and unique biodiversity.
On the other hand, French Polynesia is a group of islands located to the northeast of New Caledonia, consisting of over 100 islands including famous ones like Tahiti and Bora Bora. French Polynesia is also a French overseas collectivity but has a different administrative structure compared to New Caledonia.
While both regions are part of the larger French territories in the Pacific, they are distinct from one another in terms of geography, culture, and governance.
