Dreyfus left Devil's Island on 9 June 1899 and disembarked secretly at Port Haliguen on 30 June, after five years of imprisonment, before confinement in Rennes.
On 9 June 1899, Dreyfus left Devil's Island heading to France, locked in a cabin as if guilty even though he no longer was. He disembarked on 30 June 1899 in Port Haliguen on the Quiberon peninsula in the greatest secrecy, a clandestine and nocturnal return. After five years of imprisonment, he was on his native soil, but was immediately locked up from 1 July 1899 in the military prison in Rennes, and remanded on 7 August 1899 before the military court of the Breton capital.
