As part of the project Destination Jacmel, the development work of the lanes stairs, located below the town hall, are progressing rapidly. To inquire about the progress of work, the Departmental Director of Tourism and Creative Industries of Southeast, Dithny Joan Raton, made several visits there, accompanied by key stakeholders including the city authorities, the technical team of the Regional Office of the Southeast, the team of "Art Creation Foundation For Children" (ACFFC) and designers involved in the design, the installation of adequate furniture and works supervision.

This lane will be named Préfète Duffaut, jacmelien painter, known for his work with incredible street stairs. The artistic design of these lanes is performed by the students of ACFFC.

In addition, sanitation and development works are also provided in the adjacent streets, typical elements of the Historic Centre of Jacmel. The artistic design in mosaic includes part of the novel of "René Dépestre" "Hadriana dans tous mes rêves".

The completed project, will allow the public and tourists to walk between the top and bottom of the city in a pleasant area especially during the upcoming Carnival of Jacmel that will run the 6, 7 and 8 February on the theme "Jacmel, creative city".
