A beautiful blue Creole house dating from 1842, which houses the municipal library and a museum with collections on Guiana's fauna, history, peoples and crafts.

This heritage building, which was in critical condition, was selected by the Mission Patrimoine 2021 (led by the French Ministry of Culture and FDJ) and has been restored from top to bottom.

Mais le clou de la visite demeure la collection de tableaux réalisés par un bagnard libéré qui nous plonge dans l'Enfer vécu par ces hommes...
