TOMB OF MARCEL TREICH-LAPLENE
Go there and contact
Erected in 1922, this lonely concrete obelisk monument is dedicated to Côte d'Ivoire's first French colonist, who died at the age of 30
The monument dedicated to Marcel Treich-Laplène, the first French settler in the Ivory Coast, consists of a lonely concrete obelisk, standing dustily in the middle of a small square of yellowed greenery. As lonely and pathetic as the fate of this adventurer who died at barely 30 years old, on a liner in the harbour of Grand-Bassam, gnawed by fevers and exhausted by his treaty races. The monument was erected in 1922 on the tomb of the young Corrézien.
