La Porte de Non-Retour stands at the end of la Rue des Esclaves. Built in 1992, it is a monument to the slaves torn away from the country two hundred years ago.
    Overall the monument was visually striking and very moving. (Note: this view was assembled from 2 photographs. A neat trick when you don't have a wide angle lens.)
