Workation in Franceville: the essentials
The Trans-Gabon Railway ends here, on the east bank of the Ogooué in the far southeast of the country, deep inland. Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza founded Franceville in 1880 on the site of a village called Masuku, and it began as a refuge for formerly enslaved Africans. With about 110,000 residents at the 2013 census it is Gabon's third-largest commune and the capital of Haut-Ogooué Province, shaped by the nearby manganese and uranium mines and by the patronage of President Omar Bongo, who was born close by. The savannas of the Batéké plateaux lie to the east. The airport is about 20 km out. Few foreigners come here to work, so expect French in daily life and plan on working from your accommodation.
