Libreville, Gabon – (African Boulevard News) – After years of financial turmoil and legal battles, the Gabonese government can finally breathe a sigh of relief as the iconic mansion in central Paris, purchased at great expense in 2010, is now set for a much-needed facelift.
For many years, the magnificent property, belonging to the Gabonese government, has been burdened with mounting debts and creditors lining up at its gates. However, recent developments have provided a glimmer of hope for the iconic mansion’s future.
According to well-placed sources, the mansion, located in the heart of Paris, is on the cusp of a transformative renovation. Freed from its creditors, the once-closed-off fortress is ready to embrace a new chapter.
