Farino is New Caledonia's smallest municipality and is the birth-place of writer Jean Mariotti, who achieved fame abroad for his novels and short stories, set in his home land.


Sleepy little Farino comes very much alive on the second Sunday of each month, with a popular and colourful market where European and Melanesian farmers display their produce attracting large crowds.

Farino is a fruit-growing district, also renowned for its friendly people, delicious local cuisine and the « ver de bancoule », a local specialty that is regarded as a delicacy!
