The most beautiful view of Cayenne and the Cayenne River on the other side. But strong in ruins which may collapse, it is a shame... 😮

visite pas très récente un après midi d'été 2009 avant les travaux de rénovation. armé d'un peu de courage ça vaut la peine d'y aller à pied pour la vue sur la ville et en partie sur la rivière de Cayenne côté caserne loubeyre.

visit not very recent one afternoon of Summer 2009 before renovations. armed with a little courage it's worth to go there on foot for the view of the city and partly on Cayenne River side low barracks.
