Akaroa is one of Aotearoa New Zealand’s most loved towns, famous for its French cuisine, spectacular harbour, sightseeing, and rare dolphins. This small seaside town on Banks Peninsula has an interesting history. Stroll down the Rue Jolie or the Rue Lavaud, two of Akaroa’s main streets, past bistros serving bouillabaisse and escargot, and you may wonder why it feels like you’ve just walked through a slice of France. The reason? Because Akaroa almost was one. This former French settlement was founded in 1840 to be an administrative centre for the French annexation of the South Island. Things didn’t work out that way, but the French left a splendid legacy on the town’s culinary scene.
