The source also identifies Association AFIFAC as organizer and states that screenings during the festival and off-site festival are free of charge. Its regional relevance is clear: the program promotes documentary creation from the Guianas, Amazon Basin and Caribbean, linking film, territory and public debate.

Visite guidée de la Rhumerie Saint-Maurice 2026
The guided visit of Rhumerie Saint-Maurice is retained because the tourism-office page confirms Wednesday visits at 9:00 and 10:00, a duration of about 45 minutes, a 15 EUR adult price and mandatory reservation. The cultural value is tied to local know-how: visitors encounter the industrial and agricultural heritage of rum-making in Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni rather than a generic tasting stop. Organizer is kept as the tourism office because the source gives the booking contact through Hello Saint Lau.
Conférence Label Ville d’Art et d’Histoire – Saint-Laurent 2026
This Journées Européennes du Patrimoine listing is retained because the official Culture page confirms a free, on-site conference at the Camp de la Transportation during the 19-20 September 2026 heritage weekend. The subject is directly connected to Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni’s identity as a Ville d’Art et d’Histoire: the renewal of the label and the future of heritage mediation. The event is valuable for publication because it links public participation, urban memory and long-term cultural policy.
Visite commentée de l’Île aux Lépreux 2026
The Île aux Lépreux visit is retained because the official heritage page confirms a free guided visit by Arnauld Heuret during the Journées Européennes du Patrimoine. The source describes the former leprosarium of the penal colony on an islet in the Maroni, with departure by pirogue in front of the tourist office and limited places by time slot. This is a strong regional heritage entry because it connects river geography, penal archives and the memory of an isolated medical site, making the Maroni itself part of the interpretation of place.
Visite commentée du Camp RSMA à Saint-Jean 2026
The Camp RSMA visit is retained because the official Journées Européennes du Patrimoine page confirms a free guided visit at the Camp de la Relégation, with location at the RSMA entrance in the village of Saint-Jean. The site is tied to the history of relégation and to the contemporary role of the Régiment du Service Militaire Adapté in training young people in Guyane. The entry is therefore both a heritage visit and a way to understand how a former penal site continues to structure local memory.
Visites guidées du Camp de la Transportation 2026
The guided visits of the Camp de la Transportation are one of the clearest heritage listings for Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni. The tourism office confirms daily guided visits in French, with seasonal schedules and posted tariffs. This site is central to the memory of the penal colony and to the urban identity of Saint-Laurent, where the former camp has become a major cultural and heritage place. The entry is kept as a recurring guided-visit listing, with the schedule summarized for human readers and ISO dates preserved for import.
Marché de Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni 2026
The Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni market is a strong recurring cultural listing because the local tourism office describes it as a meeting and exchange place where the city’s cultural diversity crosses through fruit, vegetables, textiles and local craft. The source confirms the schedule on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 6:00 to 14:00 at place Flore Lithaw. This entry should highlight the market as an everyday cultural address for the Maroni side of French Guiana, not as a generic shopping listing.
Exposition Dans l’œil d’Albert Londres 2026
This exhibition is a strong heritage entry because the official municipal page confirms the dates from 1 May to 30 September and the location at Case 3, Camp de la Transportation. Albert Londres is directly connected to the memory of the penal colony, and Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni remains one of the essential places for understanding that history. The event is therefore not only an exhibition listing: it is a public interpretation of journalism, memory and the former penal landscape on the Maroni.
Exposition Ship of Fools à Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni 2026
Ship of Fools is kept as a verified exhibition because the official Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni page confirms the dates from 18 June to 18 August and the venue at Salle de la Relégation, Camp de la Transportation. Its value for the regional culture map comes from the way contemporary exhibition practice enters a major heritage site shaped by the penal-colony history of the Maroni. The listing should invite readers to understand the exhibition through place, memory and artistic presence rather than as a generic gallery event.
