The North of the Senegal
The region of Saint-Louis attracts history enthusiasts and we often get the impression of being transported into another time, as soon as one crosses the Faidherbe Bridge-style Eiffel. The city preserves important testimonies of its glorious past and rich cultural and architectural heritage is such that the city has also been listed since 2000 as a world heritage site by UNESCO.
In this area, the biodiversity is incomparable. Water and land embrace, river and sea blend. And such a giant oasis, the delta of the Senegal river is the last stop for thousands of migrating birds.
