Circuit de l’abolition de l’esclavage

71300 Montceau-les-Mines

The trail commemorating the abolition of slavery, also known as the ‘Saône-et-Loire departmental trail – Land of Abolitionists’, is dedicated to the men and women who worked tirelessly for the abolition of slavery. Several iconic figures from the department campaigned for the abolition of slavery, both on their own soil and across the seas, such as Pierre Moreau, Jean-Philippe Saclier, General Etienne Mayneaud de Bisefranc de Lavaux, Alphonse Marie Louis de Prat de Lamartine, and Anne-Marie Jahouvey. Commemorative plaques shed light on this chapter of history, which is still little known to the general public, in Digoin, Paray-le-Monial, Charolles, Génelard, Toulon-sur-Arroux, Autun, Montceau-les-Mines, Saint-Point, Milly-Lamartine, Cluny, Mâcon, Cormatin and Ameugny.
