The interior walls of this late 19th-century church (dedicated to Saint Joseph) have been covered with original frescoes, justifying its classification as a historic monument since June 8, 1978. The paintings, the work of convict Pierre Huguet, a recidivist escapee under house arrest at Father Raffray's, cover some 600 m² of the church's interior. The work was carried out in 1892 and 1898. One day, Huguet, who was living in the presbytery, escaped. It was later learned that he perished in tragic circumstances. A historic stopover.

Cute little church: It's a pity that the garbage is being deposited where you train. But it is not only the church we have chosen: once customs, you enter another world. It's clean, cute like everything, we want to put his suitcases at least one night, which we will do if we return.

A small relaxing stop in the amazing Iracoubo church, fully decorated with frescoes.
Small church Guiana to the colourful frescoes. The work of the painter is impressive. I enjoyed much my stop in this little piece of paradise
