Savane des Esclaves

Along the way, your self-guided tour will be enhanced by audio QR codes, videos, over 40 bilingual panels and a fresco detailing the history of slavery in the West Indies (produced with the help of historians), revolts, marooning, free people of colour and abolitionists.
This is a veritable open-air museum, with more than 25 traditional huts retracing 400 years of history. You will find

- A "Memories of our Ancestors" museum devoted to slavery, illustrating various scenes from the lives of slaves: the Code Noir, marronnage, liberation...
