The House of the Abbé Grégoire in Emberménil

The House of the Abbé Grégoire presents the life of the priest of Emberménil, figure of the French Revolution who demanded the abolition of slavery. The House of the Abbé Grégoire is part of the "Route des Abolitions" (Road of the Abolitions), a network connecting the important sites of the history of the abolition of slavery in France. This international project, supported by the UN, includes five sites in eastern France located on the “road of the abolition of slavery and the Human Rights”, launched in 2004: Anne-Marie Javouhey’s house in Chamblanc, the House of Negritude in Champagney, the House of the Abbé Grégoire in Emberménil, the Chateau de Joux, and Schoelcher’s house in Fessenheim (now reopened as "Victor Shoelcher Museum, his lifework").
