Voltaire Falls: 70 km of trail to reach the waterfalls.

In Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni, the journey to the Voltaire Falls begins well before the first waterfall. From the town, the Paul Isnard Trail leads into the forest for about 70 kilometers. After being closed to the public for several years, the site has just reopened following a restoration program led by the Territorial Collectivity of French Guiana.

Annalee Davis: Transforming a Former Plantation into a Place of Healing

In Venice, Annalee Davis did not bring any abstract images of Barbados. For the 2026 Art Biennale, the artist brought plants from her garden, textiles, drawings of palm trees, and a life-size reproduction of a bird now believed to be extinct to the Arsenale.
