Saint Laurent du Maroni



Saint Laurent du Maroni sits on the eastern bank of the Maroni (Marowijne) River, which forms the border between French Guiana and Suriname. It was once the reception camp for newly arrived convicts and there are numerous colonial buildings that form a reminder of that period. Especially at the Camp de la Transportation you can still see countless reminders of the harsh life in the penal colony. Old cells can be visited and you will see shackles and other artifacts to keep the convicts under control.

There are several hotels and restaurants in Saint Laurent du Maroni. Trips op the Maroni (Marowijne) River to visit the Maron and Amerindian settlements in the region, can be arranged in town. Saint Laurent du Maroni is 200 km northwest of Cayenne.
