Mata-Utu is the capital of Wallis and Futuna, a French overseas collectivity in the South Pacific. It is a small town located on the island of Uvea in the South Pacific. The Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption (pictured on this postcard), built by French missionaries, is the town’s most iconic landmark. Mata-Utu is also the residence of the King of Uvea, blending traditional Polynesian monarchy with French administration. Fun fact: There are no street names in Mata-Utu, which can make navigating a bit of a challenge.
