 Le Havre. An open square near the port.

awaiting departure. Thanks to a sentry bribed by Lescaut, Des
Grieux informs his beloved that her brother has organized a plan of
escape. But it is thwarted and Manon is led off with the other
women deportees to board the ship for America. After attempting
in vain to rescue his beloved from her fate, Des Grieux implores
the ship's captain to take him on board too, so that he can stay
with Manon.
