Various pictures from Libreville, both the city itself and from the Camp De Gaulle, as the base of the 6e BIMa is called.

Llibreville_03_w.jpg (17996 bytes) Another overall view of the main entry.
Llibreville_01_w.jpg (24305 bytes) A shoe store on the outskirts of Libreville.
Llibreville_04_w.jpg (24571 bytes) The back streets of Libreville. Like many other cities in Africa, communal hygiene is of a poor standard compared to European cities.
Llibreville_05_w.jpg (25048 bytes) A Libreville intersection. The same laws that apply in the Gabonese jungle apply on its roads - the local drivers are so hazardous and the streets are so badly maintained that driving any sort of vehicle is downright dangerous.
Llibreville_06_w.jpg (20727 bytes) This is still classified as a road in a good condition, and all sorts of vehicles, including heavy buses and trucks, pass through here regularly.
Llibreville_07_w.jpg (18709 bytes) The Cotton Club, a nightclub frequented by many military personnel of the 6e BIMa, the Legionnaires included.
