Trip to Mission Sainte-Anne in Fernan Vaz (GABON)
The church was designed and built by Gustave Eiffel in Paris and transported in pieces to St. Anne where it was built in 1889. It is a mixture of color and visual contrasts. The dark rust color and simple silhouette of the church nestled in the green palm trees make it worthwhile to visit, be it only for the opportunity of taking a photo. Located off the beaten track on the edge of a lagoon, visitors who approach by the river have their first glimpse of the Mission by the church spire rising above the canopy. One is immediately struck by the surrounding atmosphere of peace and tranquility due in part to the isolation of the site.

map of Gabon [ Africa ]
Gabon (/ɡəˈbɒn/; French pronunciation: [ɡabɔ̃]), officially the Gabonese Republic (French: République gabonaise), is a country on the west coast of Central Africa. Located on the equator, Gabon is bordered by Equatorial Guinea to the northwest, Cameroon to the north, the Republic of the Congo on the east and south, and the Gulf of Guinea to the west. It has an area of nearly 270,000 square kilometres (100,000 sq mi) and its population is estimated at 2.1 million people. There are three distinct regions: the coastal plains, the mountains (the Cristal Mountains and the Chaillu Massif in the centre), and the savanna in the east. Gabon's capital and largest city is Libreville. The official language is French.
Originally settled by Pygmy peoples, they were largely replaced and absorbed by Bantu tribes as they migrated. By the 18th century, a Myeni-speaking kingdom known as the Kingdom of Orungu formed in Gabon. It was able to become a powerful trading center mainly due to its ability to purchase and sell slaves. The kingdom fell with the demise of the slave trade in the 1870s. Since its independence from France in 1960, the sovereign state of Gabon has had three presidents. In the early 1990s, Gabon introduced a multi-party system and a new democratic constitution that allowed for a more transparent electoral process and reformed many governmental institutions.
Abundant petroleum and foreign private investment have helped make Gabon one of the most prosperous countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, with the fifth highest HDI[7] in the region (after Mauritius, Seychelles, Botswana and South Africa) and the fifth highest GDP per capita (PPP) in all of Africa (after Seychelles, Mauritius, Equatorial Guinea and Botswana). Its GDP grew by more than 6% per year from 2010 to 2012.
Gabon is rich in folklore and mythology. Raconteurs keep traditions alive such as the mvett among the Fangs and the ingwala among the Nzebis. Gabon is also known for its masks, such as the n'goltang (Fang) and the reliquary figures of the Kota. mapa de Gabon Africa Gabon is divided into nine provinces, which are further subdivided into 50 departments. The president appoints the provincial governors, the prefects, and the subprefects.
The provinces are (capitals in parentheses):
Estuaire (Libreville)
Haut-Ogooué (Franceville)
Moyen-Ogooué (Lambaréné)
Ngounié (Mouila)
Nyanga (Tchibanga)
Ogooué-Ivindo (Makokou)

Beach scene in Gabon
Gabon is located on the Atlantic coast of central Africa on the equator, between latitudes 3°N and 4°S, and longitudes 8° and 15°E. Gabon generally has an equatorial climate with an extensive system of rainforests, with 89.3% of its land area forested.[16]
There are three distinct regions: the coastal plains (ranging between 20 and 300 km [10 and 190 mi] from the ocean's shore), the mountains (the Cristal Mountains to the northeast of Libreville, the Chaillu Massif in the centre), and the savanna in the east. The coastal plains form a large section of the World Wildlife Fund's Atlantic Equatorial coastal forests ecoregion and contain patches of Central African mangroves especially on the Muni River estuary on the border with Equatorial Guinea.
Geologically, Gabon is primarily ancient Archean and Paleoproterozoic igneous and metamorphic basement rock, belonging to the stable continental crust of the Congo Craton, a remnant section of extremely old continental crust. Some formations are more than two billion years old. Ancient rock units are overlain by marine carbonate, lacustrine and continental sedimentary rocks as well as unconsolidated sediments and soils that formed in the last 2.5 million years of the Quaternary. The rifting apart of the supercontinent Pangaea created rift basins that filled with sediments and formed the hydrocarbons which are now a keystone of the Gabonese economy.[18] Gabon is notable for the Oklo reactor zones, the only known natural nuclear fission reactor on Earth which was active two billion years ago. The site was discovered during uranium mining in the 1970s to supply the French nuclear power industry.
Gabon's largest river is the Ogooué which is 1,200 kilometres (750 mi) long. Gabon has three karst areas where there are hundreds of caves located in the dolomite and limestone rocks. Some of the caves include Grotte du Lastoursville, Grotte du Lebamba, Grotte du Bongolo, and Grotte du Kessipougou.
Gabon is also noted for efforts to preserve the natural environment. In 2002, President Omar Bongo Ondimba designated roughly 10% of the nation's territory to be part of its national park system (with 13 parks in total), one of the largest proportions of nature parkland in the world. The National Agency for National Parks manages Gabon's national park system. Gabon had a 2018

Africa á la Carte- Libreville, Fishing, Palm Wine & Moabi Butter
Today, I am helping the local people bring in the fishing net. As much seafood as I eat, I thought it was about time to learn how to do it myself (well not myself, but you get it). The net seriously weighed a ton! At first I didn't think it was going to be so strenuous, but as soon as I grabbed the rope, I knew this was a serious task.
Next, I learn the origins of our popular drink, Palm Wine. Willie and Kevin were so nice to show me how it's done. I didn't realize how natural the wine really was. So delicious!
Later, I visit Mama Collette. Mama Collette is from the same village as I am, Lastoursville. The Moabi Butter can be compared to Shea Butter, but really that's an insult. The Moabi Butter is much more magical than just plain Shea Butter. (Details in video)

Plongée au milieu des poissons de Tikehau
Lors de notre séjour à Tikehau, nous sommes allé plonger avec Tuamotus diving, désormais dénommé Tikehau diving. Jacques-Yves Cousteau avait en son temps qualifié les abords du lagon de mer la plus poissonneuse du monde. Quelques décennies plus tard, les plongées sont toujours aussi enivrantes et animées de rencontres mémorables avec les murènes, les requins, les raies mantas, les napoléons et des bancs de perches pagaies ou de chirurgiens bagnards. Découvrez tout cela et partagez la vidéo si vous l'appréciez :

Episode 5 Les rues de Koulamoutou
A 7h30 les rues grouillent de monde, les femmes garnissent leurs étals de fruits multicolores et parfumés qui voisinent avec du poisson fumé noir et sec. Des légumes exotiques (je devrais plutôt dire locaux), sont méticuleusement dressés en petits tas. Ici, point de balance, donc on achète non pas au poids mais au tas.Les écoliers dans l'uniforme aux couleurs de leurs écoles respectives s'engouffrent dans le premier taxi qui se présente.
Quatre, six, puis un septième tente de monter alors que le taxi redémarre. Il faut dire que c'est l'heure de pointe pour les taxis car les lignes de bus comme en Europe n'existent pas.
