This is located on the Manzanilla road and lies on a hill opposite to St. Joseph road and Otoire Hill road.

 

 

These tombs belong to  some of the 1st. French plantation owners who came to these shores after the Cedula.There was a large number of slaves who came with these settlers to plant sugarcane and coconuts.

 

 

The persons entombed here are Francis Alphonse Ganteaume De Montault (9Jan 1826-27July 1904) along with 2 others whose marking on the Tomb are all but visible due to the length of time  and the weather they have been exposed to.
