On Saturday, October 24th, Hervé Beaudet unveiled a plaque commemorating Haiti's independence, celebrated on January 1st, 1804. The ceremony was attended by His Excellency Mr. Ambassador of the Republic of Haiti in France, Louino Volcy, as well as author Lyonel Trouillot and geographer Jean-Marie Théodat.
Saint-Junien is the first town in France to install such a plaque. It is located at the Pré de la Colle, an area by the Vienne river, opposite the Cité du Cuir.
The town of Saint-Junien stands with free peoples, as demonstrated by this initiative proposed by the festival Foutez-nous la paix to the municipal team.
