Streets of Saint Louis

Saint Louis, or Ndar as they say in Wolof, Senegal's majority language, is the second largest city in the country after Dakar. It is located to the north of the country, about 300 km from the capital, to the border with Mauritania. Only about 200,000 inhabitants are there, or possibly less. It once was a French colonial town. At the time of the protectorate, the city was built on a small island, about 2 km long 300 m wide, surrounded by the Senegal River. It was the Senegalese capital of the colonies from the seventeenth century until independence in 1960. It's a much more pleasant city Dakar, since it is so small, much quieter, eat well, we are on the river all the time, as the Senegal River, which forms the border with Mauritania, is surrounding the city.
