The Saint-Louis tribe is known for the impressive wood and straw spire of its chieftaincy and for its mission where the old water wheel that gave life to the sawmill and mill can still be seen. From a historical point of view, the tribe of Saint-Louis was created just one hundred and fifty years ago in the suburbs of Nouméa, to welcome the Kanaks who had been chased from their land. Today, it is important to know that Saint-Louis is also a bastion of independence, often agitated during social movements. In case of tension in the country, don't hesitate to get information before going there, the roads can be closed for example.
