Descriptif en PIP. Ciceron Passage ( PIP translation ) The passage Ciceron takes its name from Mr Adolphe CICERON (1853-1928), notary, senator and president of the General Council of Guadeloupe. His political career (1885-1912) was marked mainly by his activism for the assimilation of the colonies to the French departments and his fight against electoral fraud. Ciceron Passage begins at Cours Nolivos Street, crosses Pitat, Baudot, Peynier streets and ends at Perrinon Street. It is one of the first pedestrian streets in Basse-Terre. It covers a ravine that rises from the heights of Saint-Claude. From 1979 to 1990, this passage was used as a shopping mall for tourist souvenirs. After being closed for many years, it reopened in 2007. At the initiative of Mrs Lucette Michaux-Chevry, Senator and Mayor of Basse-Terre, the Ciceron Passage was restored, redeveloped into an artisanal zone and inaugurated on 24 April 2010, in the presence of Mr Jean Fabre, Prefect of the Guadeloupe Region.
