The Case de Gaulle is a colonial-era residence in Brazzaville built for the governor-general and later associated with Free French administration during the Second World War, when the city served as a rallying point for that cause. The building's veranda-wrapped design suits the tropical climate and reflects the architecture of French Equatorial Africa's capital. Restored in recent decades, it has hosted official events. It ties Brazzaville to its wartime role as a symbolic capital.
