Summary

Description
Français : 1928. Poste et village de Luvungi (à 60 km au Sud de Bukavu). Voici la route qui, partant de Kalundu (au lac Tanganyika), passait par Uvira, suivait le tracé du chemin de fer jusqu'au pied de l'escarpement de Kamaniola, puis reliait ensuite Bukavu dans un parcours très sinueux. À Luvungi, se trouvait un hôtel/bar, un gîte d'étape tenu par le bien connu "Bwana François" et plus tard, par la famille Gerondal (surnommée Tuttut... le surnom de Mme). En 1950, la route fut asphaltée de Luvungi jusqu'au lac Tanganyika par la société italienne Ruvir.
English: 1928. Post and village of Luvungi (60 km south of Bukavu). Here is the road that, starting from Kalundu (at Lake Tanganyika), passed through Uvira, followed the railway track until the foot of the Kamaniola escarpment, and then connected to Bukavu in a very winding route. In Luvungi, there was a hotel/bar, a guesthouse managed by the well-known "Bwana François," and later by the Gerondal family (known as Tuttut... Mrs.'s nickname). In 1950, the road was paved from Luvungi to Lake Tanganyika by the Italian company Ruvir.
