45. Abbé Raynal in his Histoire des Deux Indes described the Kourou area as the Land of Candide.
Choiseul corresponded with Voltaire on the topic of Kourou, and from this interaction perhaps formed
his imaginary of an Enlightenment utopia in contrast to the grisly slave society observed by Candide.
