Mon Bijou is a discreet, little village in Canal Number One, West Bank Demerara.
Upon crossing the Demerara Harbour Bridge you turn left and travel until you cross the concrete bridge just before the Bagotville junction then turn right into Canal Number One. Three miles into Canal Number One you come upon Mon Bijou, a village situated on a dam running parallel to the public road.
Mon Bijou is French for ‘My Jewel’, but villagers say the village is of Dutch origin just like as Vrede en Vriendschap
