PRESENTATION OUTLINE
HAITI
Haïti est un pays des Caraïbes qui partage l'île d'Hispaniola avec la République dominicaine à l'est. Bien qu'il se soit encore remis d'un tremblement de terre de 2010, beaucoup des repères d'Haïti datant du début du 19ème siècle restent intacts. Citadelle la Ferrière, une forteresse au sommet d'une montagne, et les ruines du Palais Sans-Souci, l'ancienne demeure royale baroque du roi Henri Ier.
