The Future Together (French: l'Avenir Ensemble, pronounced [lav(ə)niʀ ɑ̃ˈsɑ̃bl]) is a center-right political party in New Caledonia supporting the maintenance of political and administrative ties with France. In the latest legislative elections of May 9, 2004, it won 22.8% of the popular vote and 16 out of 54 seats in the Territorial Congress, and is now ruling New Caledonia in a coallition with other parties.

The name l'Avenir Ensemble reflects the party's desire to unite New Caledonians of all ethnic groups (White Europeans, Melanesian Kanaks, Polynesian immigrants, etc.) into a shared future, rejecting the ethnic oppositions of the hitherto dominant parties of New Caledonia (White anti-independence parties vs. Kanak pro-independence parties). L'Avenir Ensemble believes in a multi-ethnic and multi-cultural future for New Caledonia.
