While most stamp collectors focus on Europe, North America & Asia, there's a tiny number of collectors (under 3000) that collect French Polynesian stamps only. Most of us are bi-lingual (French & English) due to communication.
Most of us lived in Oceania (Pacific Ocean). However, I lived in USA. I was born in Taiwan & our culture is similar to French Polynesia(Dance, Stone carving & Art). Stamp is the best representation of my culture. Le tampon est petit mais contient beaucoup d’informations sur la culture. C'est étonnant.
Most of French Polynesian stamp collectors don't attend auction or expo. We don't even networking with others. However, we have a very close relationship with Philatelic Center of French Polynesia. There are only 4 staff & we know the staff well because we purchased stamps from them often. Nous avons un compte avec eux. Nous avons reçu une brochure de timbres chaque mois. Nous recevons également des lettres d'information gratuites.
(Below) Frida (far left) is one of the 4 staff that handles all of our orders. Nous sommes très reconnaissants pour l'aide. Elle répond à tous nos emails et appels téléphoniques. Thank you very much
The Philatelic Center of French Polynesia released about 15 issues & print only 400,000 stamps per year. They're printed on high quality sheet. Almost all of the issues are in high denomination (100F). Due to the beauty of the stamp, high denomination, quality & limited quantity - the stamps are very desirable.
Miss French Polynesian Beauty Pageant is very active of promoting stamp collecting. Every year, the winner of Miss French Polynesian pageant volunteered to work with Philatelic Center of French Polynesia. Together, they setup booth promoting stamps at shopping malls, not at big convention or five star hotel
The Philatelic Center of French Polynesia produced stamp calendar of Miss French Polynesia (Tahiti) every year honoring their friendship. Many of us purchased the calendar which is in limited edition. Nous aimons notre calendrier de timbres. Nous ne pouvons pas attendre pour l'année prochaine
(Below) The Philatelic Center of French Polynesia released Miss French Polynesia stamps. 1988 Miss French Polynesia was a member of Philatelic Center of French Polynesia and she played a major role of promoting stamp collecting. Sadly, Teumere Pater was killed in accident (1993), she was only 26. 2018 Miss French Polynesia is also very active promoting stamp collecting. Vaimalama Chaves' father works full time at the Philatelic Center of French Polynesia. Nous sommes très chanceux d'avoir ces gens formidables. Nous n'oublierons jamais leur dévouement. Ils sont notre famille pour toujours. We are forever grateful to Teumere Pater & Vaimalama Chaves. Our beloved daughters of French Polynesia.
(Below) Here's a booth of the Philatelic Center of French Polynesia at International Stamp Expo. The staff travels to Oceania, Asia & Europe mostly. Le Centre philatélique de Polynésie française est très actif dans la promotion de la philatélie. A tremendous effort by the staff.
(Below) Tourism is one of main attractions in French Polynesia.
(Below) French Polynesian culture is dominated by the outdoor activities.
(Below) The people are known for their hospitality with conviction "Love & Peace".
(Below) The culture is preserved regardless of the technology or evolution.

Many of the French Polynesian stamps are related to Art. French Polynesia is strongly influenced by French art. France is #1 in the world when comes art. Some of the best Artist lives in French Polynesia. Les artistes les plus talentueux du monde sont français. C’est une fière tradition depuis des siècles.
(Below) Paul Gauguin is the most famous Artist in French Polynesia's history. He was born in France, but moved to French Polynesia after falling in love with the islands. De nombreux timbres sont dédiés à Paul Guiguin et à ses peintures.

I think the aircraft shown on the stamp about 3 comments above is a Douglas DC-6B for anyone interested. I like these older piston aircraft. I guess it's similar to liking the style of the earlier transatlantic liners compared to the modern cruise ships which look like floating hotels.
Now I have to correct myself. It is a DC-7C which Transports Aériens Intercontinentaux used for Bora Bora to Honolulu and then onto LA. Aircraft F-BIAQ was bought in January 1958 if I'm reading the list correctly. This makes sense as the 2010 stamp is celebrating 50 years of Fa'a'a international airport in Tahiti which opened in 1960. (Thanks to Wikipedia for the information.)

Fa'a'a international airport is the busiest airport in French Polynesia. It's located in the capital city of Papeete. In 2010, Fa'a'a international airport celebrated 50th anniversary. Most of the travelers landed at this beautiful airport when visiting French Polynesia.
Both Air Tahiti & Air Tahiti Nui operated at this airport. In 2008, the Philatelic Center of French Polynesia released issues honoring Air Tahiti Nui. This airline is very young with only 10 years old. Air Tahiti Nui est une compagnie aérienne moyenne, mais je ne le recommande pas car les sièges sont petits et obsolètes.

A nice tradition for departing visitors is the necklace of small shells. (and flowers when you arrive). If you are well known and have many family members wishing you off, you may need an extra suitcase to put all the necklaces (one per person) you will receive. On the other hand, when you arrive at your destination, you will have plenty of "presents" to offer those you meet.
Not sure how they handle it today with the extra layers of airport security!
rrr...
Incidentally, all the Gauguin paintings are in France's museums or privately owned. The Gauguin museum in Tahiti had copies, last time I looked.

De nombreux timbres en Polynésie française sont dédiés aux femmes. Il y a beaucoup de problèmes liés aux femmes. Le timbre est la meilleure représentation pour exprimer les problèmes des femmes.
En 1998, une série de quatre timbres ont été publiés. Il était dédié aux femmes du festival Heiva.
En 2000, le Centre philatélique de Polynésie française a publié un timbre spécial consacré la beauté des femmes. 
En 1983, Rio accueille l'exposition internationale de timbres. Un timbre a été émis pour souligner la contribution des femmes à la société. A joint issue with French Polynesia and Brasil. 
En 1995, une femme a été dédiée à un timbre honorant Pierri Loti. La beauté des femmes polynésiennes a été capturée par Pierri Loti, l'un des plus grands artistes français de l'histoire. C'est l'un de mes timbres préférés, car une personne du passé (Pierri) et une personne du présent (femme) émergent dans ce timbre. Un timbre très étrange, mais magnifique. Thank you Mr. Pierri Loti.

Almost every Miss French Polynesia has contributed to stamp collecting. They have a very close relationship with the Philatelic Center of French Polynesia. It's a tradition that lasted for over 50 years. Voici une réunion intéressante en 1977. Les deux femmes se sont rencontrées au concours Miss Univers.
Timia Teriiero (1977 Miss French Polynesia) entered Miss Universe Pageant. There, she met Pascale Taurau (1977 Miss Caledonia). Both were art students & they became good friends. Years later, Pascale became an accomplished Painter while Tamia got married & started a family. Both kept in touch throughout decades. Les deux femmes sont restées en contact et se sont rendues visite. Pascale aime beaucoup la Polynésie française et assiste à des expositions de timbres. (Below) Timia Teriiero, 1977 Miss French Polynesia on the stamp. 
Timia's friend Pascale became a famous Painter in Paris. In 2018, one of Pascale's painting was featured on the stamp. The Philatelic Center of French Polynesia officially issued this & 100,000 stamps were printed!........(Below) Pascale Taurau's stamp. Ce timbre dédié à la Journée internationale de la femme. C'est une grande contribution de Timia et Pascale. Tous deux devinrent amis, pensèrent-ils. Les deux apportent une contribution au monde des timbres. Thank you Timia & Pascale.

Last night, our French Polynesia Stamp Club had a meeting at my home. Just a small group of us get together on weekend. We discussed 3 stamps that were issued during the economic recession in French Polynesia (1999 & 2012). Les trois beaux timbres ravivent des souvenirs. Nous avons longuement discuté de ces timbres.
(Below) Here is a beautiful stamp released in 1999. It was issued on St. Valentines Day. Les vacances les plus romantiques de l'année. Promouvoir l'amour au monde à travers ce timbre. May love spreads around the world.

En 2016, le Centre philatélique de Polynésie française a publié un timbre rendant hommage à l'artiste. Le timbre a été fabriqué lors de l'exposition de timbres 2016 à New York. L'artiste Julien Malland est génial. C'est un bel hommage à la Polynésie française.

Notre rencontre a duré plus de 2 heures. Ces 3 timbres ont attiré beaucoup d’attention et c’était le thème de la réunion. Nous avons tous ces timbres de navire. Un must pour tous les collectionneurs.
