Photography Tour in Saint-Louis

The best photos of Saint-Louis aren't at the obvious landmarks. The real magic is in the side streets, the reflected light, the unexpected angles that only reveal themselves to those exploring on foot.

Saint-Louis is a faded colonial jewel straddling the Senegal River, with a UNESCO-listed island center of pastel-colored buildings and wrought-iron balconies. Walking its quiet streets feels like stepping into a West African time capsule.
