EDITORS COMMENTS
Nestled in a secluded corner of France, these conical mud huts may at first glance appear to be an unexpected import from Sudan. However, upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that this intriguing scene is actually rooted in French history. These huts, constructed of mud and thatch, are remnants of a unique and little-known chapter in French history. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a community of Sudanese laborers, who had been brought to France to work on the construction of the Suez Canal, settled in this remote area. Seeking to maintain their cultural traditions, they built these conical huts, replicas of the ones they had known in their homeland. Despite their exotic appearance, these huts were not an exhibit or oddity, but rather a testament to the diverse and multicultural nature of French society during this period. However, some rumors persist that these huts were also used for the production of moonshine, a clandestine industry that flourished in rural France during this time. The huts are surrounded by a corral, where horses graze, and barrels, which may have once held the makings of illicit liquor. The moonlit landscape adds an air of mystery to this intriguing scene. Today, these huts stand as a reminder of a forgotten chapter in French history, a testament to the rich cultural diversity that has shaped the country's past and continues to influence its present.
