A coral cave in the dense bush near the village of Gossanah, in the northern part of Ouvéa. It became the site of one of the most painful episodes in modern French Pacific history, and the cave and the surrounding clearing are now a memorial — a small marker stone, a few faded photographs, and the names of the dead. The local Kanak community asks visitors to come quietly and to ask permission at the village before walking in.
The story of the crisis is the subject of Mathieu Kassovitz's 2011 film L'Ordre et la Morale, made in close collaboration with descendants of the people who died here.
