Prison of the Annamites

Prison of the Annamites (French: Bagne des Annamites or Camp Crique Anguille) is a former prison in the commune of Montsinéry-Tonnegrande in French Guiana.

On 10 February 1930, Annamite soldiers, in what is nowadays called Vietnam, revolted against French rule during the Yên Bái mutiny.

[2] On 6 June 1930, the territory of Inini had been established to develop the interior of French Guiana separately from the coastal area.

[8] In 1940, the Senegalese troops were replaced by French Guianan soldiers.

[10] The site has an IUCN category IV status,[11] and is administered by Conservatoire du littoral.
