Love that bridge, Great stuff as usual Storm Shadow :cheers:
http://farm1.static.flickr.com/150/344517057_c03d011c24_b.jpg

Thanks Tbite. The bridge is called the "Pont De Saint Louis".

Thanks Tbite. The bridge is called the "Pont De Saint Louis".

No, the bridge is not called pont de Saint Louis but Pont Faidherbe. It was built by Gustave Eiffel, but for all I know was recently entirely rennovated but hopefully Mouha can give us some more background on that, he is Senegalese and know it best.:)

Stormshadow, thanks for opening a thread on Saint Louis!:)

Some more pics from Saint Louis..more and more of the old housed seem to get renovated

The more of the old town gets restored, the more beautiful Saint Louis becomes! But it will all be a private initiative or based on international city partnerships! Saint Louis has also been declared World Heritage by UNESCO!

Saint Louis also has one big Jazz Festival once a year!:)

a nice looking city :)

Some new Saint Louis photos (taken in June 2007)...more and more houses get renovated in the old quartes of Saint Louis and Saint Louis becomes really very nice:)

Saint Louis also hosts Africa´s largest Jazz festival every year

Events and festivals

Saint Louis is famous for its urban culture. The heritage of the signares lives on in the city’s many festivals and its cultivated sense of public display, and it is helping Saint-Louis emerge from decades of neglect. "Fanals", which are night-time processions of giant paper lanterns, take place at Christmas time. The Saint-Louis Jazz Festival is the most important jazz festival in Africa. Jazz first became popular in the 1930s when records produced in Cuba were aired on the radio. After WWII, visiting U.S. GIs popularized jazz bands and by the 1950s local groups had adopted a "Cuban" sound. Another music festival, 1, 2, 3 musiques, exhibits various genres of music. The annual reggata, or pirogue race organized by teams of fishermen from Guet-Ndar, takes place on the "little branch" of the river, between Ndar Island and the Langue de Barbarie. The Magal of the Niari Rakas, a yearly commemoration of Cheikh Ahmadou Bamba Mbacké’s (the founder of Mouridism) two prayers in the Governor's Palace in 1895, is the city's largest religious gathering.

The city was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000 and cultural tourism has become an engine of growth. As a result, a process of gentrification has set in, with many historic buildings on the island being turned into restaurants and hotels.:cheers::cheers::cheers::cheers:

here is their website

http://www.saintlouisjazz.com/

About a year with no update. Shame.. LOL

I'll do my part when I have more free time. If anyone has anything, please add. :cheers:

The city is beautiful, that penalty is so poor, and therefore be poorly conserved

Rekarte, Saint louis has quite a lot of (new) sponsors: many new partnerships with European (French) cities, so in a couple of years the place will look a lot better, if you look you can see the change on some pics already.

I do sincerly hope that Senegal discovers oil, then there will be more money avaible to fully restore this city.

This place is a gem and could be transformed into a New Orleans style city and be a brand for Senegal...it alreeady has Africa´s largest jazz festival!

I REALLY like the feel and the vibe I see on the photos of this city. It also has some very nice buildings with colonial architecture.

St. Louis (Senegal) city looks really a very nice place :)
