Trois-Palétuviers

Trois-Palétuviers (English: three mangroves) is a Palikur Amerindian village on the Oyapock River in French Guiana, France near the border with Brazil.

[3] The Palikur used to live in circular communal houses with palm leaf roofs[4] in semi-permanent villages.

[3] They were encouraged to live in permanent villages, and settled in one story prefabricated concrete houses.

[4] Trois-Palétuviers has a school[5] which is home to Cavaliers des Trois Palétuviers, a chess club who were invited to demonstrate their talents in Brussels in 2013.

[6] In 2017, there was a malaria outbreak in the region,[7] and the Pasteur Institute has opened a screening centre in the village.
