Belle-Anse, a village between tradition, nature and tourist potential

Nestled in the southeast of Haiti, Belle-Anse is a destination that fascinates with its natural beauty and rich history. This small town, still often ignored by major tourist routes, is full of treasures that deserve to be discovered. Its wild beaches, its imposing mountains and its unique historical heritage make Belle-Anse a hidden pearl, ready to seduce travelers in search of authenticity and tranquility. Belle-Anse, founded in the 18th century, still bears the traces of its past. Its history, marked by changes of names and identity, bears witness to the political and social upheavals that have given the region. From the colonial era to the birth of the Republic, each corner of the city tells a part of the history of Haiti. This rich past is combined with a vibrant cultural life, where local festivals, such as the celebration of the Patron Saint every December 10, offer an authentic glimpse into the lives of the inhabitants. The historical remains scattered throughout the city are not only a reminder of the era of colonization, but also of the struggles for independence. These witnesses of the past, combined with a calm and preserved atmosphere, make Belle-Anse a place where history and nature intertwine harmoniously. What distinguishes Belle-Anse is undoubtedly its spectacular natural environment. Ultimately, these beaches before the deserts invite you to relax. Lagan Beach, lined with palm trees and crystal clear waters, offers an idyllic setting for lovers of wild nature, far from the crowds of more frequent tourist destinations. The nearby Bay of Jacmel is a true natural bliss, promising moments of calm and escape. The city is also surrounded by majestic mountains, ideal for those who wish to explore the Haitian landscapes on foot, while discovering a unique biodiversity. While Belle-Anse’s natural resources are rich, they are also fragile, and preserving these areas remains an important issue for the future of the region.

Vertières, Fort Mazi: Beyond historical truth;

If you look up the word vertière in a French dictionary, you will not find it for fear that the world does not know this place represents the Achilles heels of the most powerful European army. What’s more, this one had just successfully won the eastern campaign. French historians of the time erased this geographical location from the radar of history because they did not want to tell the story as it is in the sense of explaining the first great humiliation of the expeditionary army French by bands of slaves who were totally ignorant in the art of waging war, much less in the handling of weapons. However, these illiterate wars routed the Napoleonic army, the most powerful at that time, using the means at hand. This expeditionary army, after having brought Europe to its knees, would experience its first rout by slaves in this geographical location, located in the Northern department of Haiti. Funny story, this city is not on the list of French words even though given its historical importance, it should be at the heart of universal history, far from putting an end to the invincibility of the undefeated army army. So as not to offend the white masters, no political leader has ever asked why vertière does not appear in any French dictionary? However, they celebrate this battle with great fanfare every November 18. What historic hypocrisy among our leaders! After Vertière many other historical places are strangled by historians in order to hide the extremes of atrocities of the French colonists on the slaves. It is in this context of historical strangulation that “Fort Mazi” is not mentioned in school history textbooks. This is located in Petit-Goave, 2nd municipal section, Arnoux locality. We came across this mega fort, during a mobile clinic entirely financed by the Ernest Junior foundation, a charitable foundation which works in the social sector, particularly in the field of art and music. According to residents , the oldest in this locality, this fort was built on at least 20 squares of earth by the settlers. It was a huge military complex divided into compartments, outposts, turtle rooms, rooms for treating colonists, a large Catholic church, and a cemetery. However, we never talk about this fort so much so that it is ignored by history teachers in the town of Petit-Goave. Certainly, the desired disappearance of this fort under the radar of history buries the atrocities, the barbarities, the most inhumane punishments of the colonists on the slaves. Looking closely at reality, everything seems true that it is the largest fort ever built during the period of colonization. Moreover, it probably seems the most fortified in relation to its importance. Remember that Vertière only exists in Haitian school history textbooks while Fort Mazi does not appear, much less in French dictionaries or history books. This explains why this fort was a secret place in which the settlers practiced crimes and atrocities that went beyond human understanding. Is it not a clear desire of historians to hide what this immense fort built on at least 20 tiles of earth really was?
