 Souffre is often referred to as one of the best experiences on the island. To add to that experience, the Fordeaux Equal Resort recently unveiled St Lucia's first historical park. The park boasts an 18th century French fortress, prison cells, a shrine, nature trails, picnic areas, kai floor, an interpretation centre, and washrooms. The managing director of Fordeaux Equal Resort, Lytton Lamontine, explains that the historical park will serve many purposes, with the main one being the education of the public. The artifacts you can see, you can see the trails, what the people did, and they can get a picture of exactly what happened in their minds, or how the war, why the war was won, by the trench. And also, we give our students, hopefully the schools, we plant them by the schools, because a lot of our students are young people, a lot of them are of that history of St Lucia. I'm not aware that that likely took place in Souffre, and I told them, so that would be with the Souffre in the world, and it gives Souffre another attraction. Echoing the sentiments of the managing director, project coordinator at Fordeaux Historical Park, Jimmy Haynes, further explains that the historical park will undoubtedly enhance the Souffre experience. It's important to know your history, because if you don't know where you've come from, it's hard to chart the way forward. It's also important to dispel mistruths and half-truths, which is the history that we were taught by the British about ourselves. So in terms of education and enlightenment, that's one of the reasons why we thought we should share what's here with the rest of the world. In tourism as well, we need to use our natural assets, our architectural assets, our cultural assets, and our historical assets. And we can use that to enhance the experience of people who visit our islands, at the same time providing employment for our people. And that's how we grow our economy and diversify our tourism industry. He says apart from the rich history, the park is a great place for relaxation and nature lovers. Member of Parliament for Souffre-Fonce Jacques Emma Hippolyte has loaded the initiative and expressed her satisfaction with the product that the Lamontines are offering. I have gone through the museum downstairs and I think it was well done. Globalized history of slavery and the war. The various wars in Souffre, especially on this site, I think that is what's important. So now we've moved in and see some of the ruins and very engaging, very refreshed, a new product, addition to the tourism product. So I want to commend them and compliment them on this new initiative. Fondue Historical Park is open to visitors every day from 9am to 4pm. Visitors to the park can choose to have a guided tour or to enjoy the sight without the services of a tour guide. Operators say additions such as a wedding gazebo, a snarket, a souvenir shop, and more nature trails are in the near future. From Souffre-Fonce Jacques Emma Hippolyte, I am Genève Gonza.
