Camp Crique Anguille, Former penal camp in Montsinéry-Tonnégrande, France.
Camp Crique Anguille consists of seven wooden buildings including a commander's house, cells, and a dining hall in French Guiana's forest region.
Established in April 1931, this detention facility operated until 1945, primarily holding 500 Indochinese prisoners who opposed French colonization.
The site represents the French colonial period in Guiana, with its architectural elements reflecting the penal practices of the early 20th century.
Visitors can reach the camp remains through a 30-minute forest trail starting from the Montsinéry-Tonnégrande road, past Crique Coco.
The camp operated independently from the penal administration, reporting directly to the Governor of French Guiana during its active period.
