Monuments to visit Segou Region

This dam has made it possible to irrigate the dead delta, the former arms of the Niger, which are then dried through the construction of two canals, that of Massina and the Sahel. This allows irrigation of thousands of hectares from Markala by going to Mauritania. Thus, the rice fields move towards the desert at a loss of sight. From the dam, we have a wonderful view of them.

The market for pottery is located along the river in the city centre. If you don't have time to go to one of the potters villages, this market houses part of their production. You can buy fine plates, vases, canary pots, terracotta pots for a small amount.

The Marché market is held on Monday, but already the day before you can see the first traders arrive, Canary canoes crossing the river. This market is very colourful and attracts people from all over the region. It is one of the largest in the country.
