Hundreds of people attend New Caledonia's deer and shrimp festival in Bouloupari, where an assortment of stalls offer venison, plants, knives and more. The fair is famous throughout the French overseas territory and brings together Caldoches, descendants of European settlers, and the Kanak community, the Indigenous Melanesian people. This year's festival takes place at a delicate political time for the archipelago, as pro- and anti-independence parties are set to hold a third round of talks on the archipelago's institutional future following deadly riots last year.
