Ville de Houilles
Since 1876, Victor Schœlcher has periodically rented a house in Houilles to his friend Émile Faucon, which he uses during the warmer months. As he got older he spent more and more time there and settled permanently in 1889, until his death in 1893. On the occasion of a visit to the gardens of the Schoelcher House, lecturer Marianne Autain will introduce the history, struggles and commitment of Victor Schoelcher, best known for having contributed to the drafting of the decree of abolition of slavery in 1848.
