Abolition of slavery 2026 in France

The Guadeloupe entry lists Abolition de l’esclavage as a public holiday on 27 May 2026. This is a local observance rather than a date that should be assumed to apply across France. The supplied background concerns the end of slavery in the United States and cannot establish the history or significance of Guadeloupe’s commemoration. The calendar supports the listed name, date and classification; for an account grounded in Guadeloupe’s history, consult local public authorities or an authoritative French slavery-history resource.
