Tromelin ; l'île des esclaves oubliés

At Mairie

Dunières

In 1761, French sailors abandoned 80 Malagasy slaves on a barren island, promising to return. They never did. This free exhibition tells the astonishing story of how survivors endured 15 years through sheer ingenuity before a chance rescue. Archaeologist Max Guérout, who uncovered this forgotten history, will be there to share what he found.
