Transportation Camp Description
(Local Name: Camp de la Transportation) At the atmospheric Camp de la Transportation c. 1857, prisoners arrived for processing and transfer to the various prison camps throughout the territory.

After walking through the same gates as Dreyfus and Papillon, grim reminders of the harshness of life in the penal colony can be seen including solitary confinement cells with their tiny windows, shackles and open toilets.

The abundant foliage has softened some of the grim history.
