Polynesia (from Greek: πολύς "polus" many + νῆσος "nēsos" island) is a subregion of Oceania, comprising a large grouping of over 1,000 islands scattered over the central and southern Pacific Ocean. The people who inhabit the islands of Polynesia are termed Polynesians and they share many similar traits including language, culture and beliefs.

The term "Polynesia" was first used by Charles de Brosses, a French writer, in 1756, and originally applied to all the islands of the Pacific. In 1831, Jules Dumont d'Urville proposed a restriction on its use during a lecture to the Geographical Society of Paris.

How do I find a flight from Rome, Italy to the French Polynesia?
Q. We are thinking of planning a "round-the-world" trip. We would start in Texas, go to Europe, then head to Bora Bora. But I can't find a flight from Rome to the French Polynesia. Any suggestions on other European cities to fly out of to get to paradise?
