Discover le Sénégal
Originally a land of broken empires, Senegal was unified under French colonization, between wars and cooperation. Over time, the different ethnic groups living on its territory have learned to live together harmoniously, in exemplary harmony. Today, this multi-ethnic country, with its diverse religions and popular beliefs, is a veritable cultural mosaic with deeply-rooted traditions. From popular festivals to animist ceremonies and religious pilgrimages, Senegal lives to the rhythm of a myriad of festivities throughout the year. Not to mention its International Jazz Festival, renowned beyond its borders for its eclectic program, which takes place in the enchanting colonial city of Saint-Louis. The country also boasts a wealth of handicrafts, from wood carvings and hand-weaving to glass painting and basketry.
