Albert Fauvel’s work on Seychelles history showcased in France
An exhibition dedicated to the travels, work and writings of Albert Auguste Fauvel was inaugurated on September 19 at the Bibliothèque Jacques Prévert in Cherbourg, France.
The exhibition is the result of months of collaboration between Fabien Collas and Julien Durup, who together form the association Âme de Pirate, the library’s management and staff, and, notably, several descendants of Albert Fauvel. Such family involvement is relatively rare in the world of historical exhibitions.
