At Memorial to the Abolition of Slavery

Decré

Walk through Nantes' slave trading past with two guides who embody its legacy: a descendant of slave ship owners and a descendant of the enslaved. Their two-voiced tour weaves together family histories at this somber underground memorial, where over two thousand glass inserts commemorate each expedition that departed from the port.
