"BIEN GRILLÉES" is a mural by artist Bassa, visible on the base of the lighthouse at Fort Cépérou in Cayenne, French Guiana. The work pays tribute to a well-known figure in French Guiana: a roasted peanut vendor nicknamed "BIEN GRILLÉES" (meaning "well roasted"), whose distinctive voice was a defining sound of many Guianese childhoods.
The mural captures the essence of French Guiana — a place where childhood memories, iconic characters, and familiar voices form a collective identity. "BIEN GRILLÉES" was not simply a peanut vendor; she was a true institution, representing local commerce and the convivial spirit of French Guiana. Visitors will find in this work a reflection of the shared memories and traditions that connect the generations. Note: the mural has unfortunately been defaced with graffiti tags.
The mural is located on the base of the lighthouse at Fort Cépérou, on the Fort Cépérou hill in Cayenne, French Guiana. GPS coordinates: 4.9376865, -52.337001.
