Repatriates' Memorial — Caesar's Propeller
Highlight • Monument
This boat propeller symbolizes the crossing of the Mediterranean that all French people from Algeria, the “Pieds Noirs”, had to make in 1962 to return to Marseille and/or France after Algeria’s declaration of independence.
The monument only has one propeller and not several as is generally the case for a boat propeller. A detail which is not accidental, but which represents the journey of no return made by the Pieds Noirs.

EN - The Memorial of Caesar's propeller repatriates is a huge boat propeller with impressive measurements: 9 meters high and weighing 20 tons.
This boat propeller symbolizes the crossing of the Mediterranean Sea that all the French Algerians, the "Pieds Noirs", had to make in 1962 to return to Marseille and/or France after the declaration of independence of Algeria.
The monument has only one propeller and not several as is usually the case for a ship's propeller. A detail that is not by chance, but which represents the journey of no return made by the “Pieds Noirs”.
