Saint-Louis, or Ndar as it is called in Wolof, is the capital of Senegal's Saint-Louis Region. Located in the northwest of Senegal, near the mouth of the Senegal River, and 320km north of Senegal's capital city Dakar, it has a population officially estimated at 176,000 in 2005. Saint-Louis was the capital of the French colony of Senegal from 1673 until 1902 and French West Africa from 1895 until 1902, when the capital was moved to Dakar. From 1920 to 1957 it also served as the capital of the neighboring colony of Mauritania.
Geography
The heart of the old colonial city is located on a narrow island (just over 2km long and about 400m wide) in the Senegal River, 25km from its mouth. At this point the river is separated from the Atlantic Ocean to the west by a narrow sand spit, the Langue de Barbarie (300m wide), which has also been urbanized (the seaside neighborhoods of Ndar Tout and Guet Ndar). Yet a third part of the city, Sor, lies on the eastern mainland and is nearly surrounded by tidal marshes. Saint-Louis is situated on the Mauritanian border, though the border crossing is at Rosso, 100km upstream.
Senegal (i/ˌsɛnᵻˈɡɔːl, -ˈɡɑːl/;French:le Sénégal), officially the Republic of Senegal (French:République du Sénégal[ʁepyblik dy seneɡal]), is a country in West Africa. Senegal's economical and political capital is Dakar. It is the westernmost country in the mainland of the Old World, or Eurafrasia, and owes its name to the Sénégal River, which borders it to the east and north. The name "Senegal" comes from the Wolof "Sunuu Gaal," which means "Our Boat." Senegal covers a land area of almost 197,000 square kilometres (76,000sqmi) and has an estimated population of about 13 million. The climate is Sahelian, but there is a rainy season.
Cultures and influences
The territory of modern Senegal has been inhabited by various ethnic groups since the prehistoric era. Organized kingdoms emerged around the seventh century, and parts of the country were ruled by prominent regional empires such as the Wolof. The present state of Senegal has its roots in European colonialism, which began during the mid-15th century, when various European powers began competing for trade in the area. The establishment of coastal trading posts gradually gave way to control of the mainland, culminating in French rule of the area by the 19th century, albeit amid much local resistance. Senegal peacefully attained independence from France in 1960, and has since been among the more politically stable countries in Africa.
The Senegal's headwaters are the Semefé (Bakoye) and Bafing rivers which both originate in Guinea; they form a small part of the Guinean-Malian border before coming together at Bafoulabé in Mali. From there, the Senegal river flows west and then north through Talari Gorges near Galougo and over the Gouina Falls, then flows more gently past Kayes, where it receives the Kolimbiné. After flowing together with the Karakoro, it prolongs the former's course along the Mali-Mauritanian border for some tens of kilometers till Bakel where it flows together with the Falémé River, which also has its source in Guinea, subsequently runs along a small part of the Guinea-Mali frontier to then trace most of the Senegal-Mali border up to Bakel. The Senegal further flows through semi-arid land in the north of Senegal, forming the border with Mauritania and into the Atlantic. In Kaedi it accepts the Gorgol from Mauritania. Flowing through Bogué it reaches Richard Toll where it is joined by the Ferlo coming from inland Senegal's Lac de Guiers. It passes through Rosso and, approaching its mouth, around the Senegalese island on which the city of Saint-Louis is located, to then turn south. It is separated from the Atlantic Ocean by a thin strip of sand called the Langue de Barbarie before it pours into the ocean itself.

SENEGAL: From SAINT-LOUIS to DAKAR. Stuck again + 6 top things to do in Dakar // EPS 4.
After crossing into Senegal we visited the vibrant fishing town Saint-Louis and famous Zebra Bar, which is a campsite most overland travelers visit when traveling west africa. On the way to Dakar we realized, that the clutch of my travel partner we repaired in Mauretania was still broken – so we prepared for a long stay in Senegals capital Dakar to send clutch discs from Europe.
Meanwhile we went on a burocratic journey through town to stamp our carnet de passage (customs document), apply for visas and explore the highlights of Dakar.
Join me for a tour through the city with my top things to do:
1. Visit the "village des arts" and buy some art

Saint-Louis est la plus ancienne ville édifiée par les colonisateurs français en Afrique de l’Ouest dès le XVIIe siècle. C’est ici que débarque, au XIXe siècle, un jeune militaire. Il ne s’appelle pas encore Pierre Loti et n’est pas encore un écrivain voyageur mais il va vivre à Saint-Louis un choc exotique, une atmosphère qu’il retranscrira dans « Le Roman d’un spahi ».
C’est images on été réalisé a l’improviste avec un iPhone 6.
Saint-Louis, ou Ndar, est la capitale de la région de Saint-Louis au Sénégal. Située au nord-ouest du Sénégal, près de l'embouchure du fleuve Sénégal et à 320 km au nord de la capitale sénégalaise, Dakar, elle compte officiellement 176 000 habitants en 2005. Saint-Louis fut la capitale de la colonie française du Sénégal dès 1673 jusqu'en 1902 et l'Afrique occidentale française de 1895 à 1902, date à laquelle la capitale fut déplacée à Dakar. De 1920 à 1957, il a également servi de capitale à la colonie voisine de la Mauritanie.

Saint-Louis, or Ndar as it is called in Wolof, is the capital of Senegal's Saint-Louis Region. Located in the northwest of Senegal, near the mouth of the Senegal River, and 320km north of Senegal's capital city Dakar, it has a population officially estimated at 176,000 in 2005. Saint-Louis was the capital of the French colony of Senegal from 1673 until 1902 and French West Africa from 1895 until 1902, when the capital was moved to Dakar. From 1920 to 1957 it also served as the capital of the neighboring colony of Mauritania.
Geography
The heart of the old colonial city is located on a narrow island (just over 2km long and about 400m wide) in the Senegal River, 25km from its mouth. At this point the river is separated from the Atlantic Ocean to the west by a narrow sand spit, the Langue de Barbarie (300m wide), which has also been urbanized (the seaside neighborhoods of Ndar Tout and Guet Ndar). Yet a third part of the city, Sor, lies on the eastern mainland and is nearly surrounded by tidal marshes. Saint-Louis is situated on the Mauritanian border, though the border crossing is at Rosso, 100km upstream.
