Living in Saint-Louis
If you’re living in the Senegal city of Saint-Louis, or Ndar as it is called in the local language, but have arrived from other shores, you may well be eager to meet fellow expats. Saint-Louis is the oldest city to be created by Europeans on Africa’s west coast and its beauty has made it a UNESCO world heritage site. The area of Guet N’Dar, located on the Langue de Barbarie, a 300m wide sand spit between the Atlantic Ocean and the Senegal River, is one of the island’s most scenic spots and is famed for its boats and fishing activities. Most expats living in Saint-Louis find themselves heading to Guet N’Dar at least once during their stay in Senegal to experience the local culture in this traditional fishing community. To reach these seaside neighborhoods of Saint-Louis, visitors make use of the Faidherbe Bridge, an impressive local construction and a symbol of the city. This former French colonial city draws tourists and residents from all over the world due to its architecture, café culture and delightful pirogue boats. Get to know Saint-Louis in style by finding like-minded souls through InterNations.
