Case de Gaulle
Brazzaville served as the capital of 'Free France' during the Second World War, and de Gaulle lived here; the house is now the residence of the French ambassador.
From 1940 to 1943, Brazzaville was the capital of the 'Free French' movement led by de Gaulle, and the famous Brazzaville Conference was held here in 1944. This white villa overlooks the Congo River. It is now the residence of the French ambassador to Congo and is not open to the public, so you can only view the exterior from the Corniche. Do not photograph the guards. It is worth a quick look if you are passing by.
