    The monument dedicated to Marcel Treich-Laplène, considered the first French settler of the Ivory Coast, consists of a lonely concrete obelisk, standing sluggishly in the middle of a small square of yellowed greenery. Born on June 24, 1860 in Ussel, in Corrèze (France) and died on March 9, 1890 in front of Grand-Bassam, then administrative capital of the Ivory Coast, he is seen as the first European explorer of the Ivory Coast and his first colonial administrator. As lonely and pathetic as the fate of this adventurer who died at barely 30 years old, on a liner in the harbor of Grand-Bassam, eaten away by fevers and exhausted by his treaty races, the monument was erected in 1922 on the grave of the young Correzien. grandbassamdigital.com/tombe-de-marcel-treich-laplene
