St Gabriel Church (Taravai)

23° 9.0′ S · 135° 1.4′ W · approximate

The missionary church of Saint-Gabriel stands in its garden at Agonoko, Taravai's tiny village. Cruisers and residents were renovating its roof, interior and plaster in 2021.

Practical

approx: Wikipedia gives no position. The pin is the village behind the anchorage and may be off by a few hundred metres. The church is maintained but not regularly used. The grassy road behind Valerie and Herve's house passes the church to the start of the hiking trails.
