We advise following the itinerary from the Nantes History Museum to the Memorial to the Abolition of Slavery. While the Memorial contributes to remembrance, the museum offers the keys to an understanding of the past of the slave trade, which is central to the permanent exhibit.
These two sites are symbolically connected by an urban itinerary containing 11 information panels (approximately 1 hour).
