Introducing St Laurent du Maroni
St Laurent is a dozy place with some of the finest colonial architecture in the country and, even 60 years after the penitentiary’s closure, is dominated by penal buildings and the ghosts of its prisoners. Along the banks of the Fleuve Maroni (Marowijne River), bordering Suriname, St Laurent is also a place to take a river trip to Maroon and Amerindian settlements.
