Is this gate of Saloum Senghor's hometown? No. But the future first president of the Republic of Senegal did grow up there. Here, everyone will take you to his parents' house and promise you that it was there that he was born... However, few tourists stop at Joal. Usually, one parks there to discover the island of Fadiouth, located just opposite, which is reached by a bridge. The small town, full of good living, still houses a few old colonial buildings. At the end of the afternoon, the arrival of the fishermen at the new port, near the entrance of the town, is worth the trip.
