The best accommodations Podor

This old building, formerly the residence of the wealthy merchant Guillaume Foy, has been restored by a group of friends, concerned about preserving the heritage, in the original style: in bricks and terracotta tiles. In this charming place with its flamboyant ochres, woods and earth, each historic room is personalized, but all have a view of the river while the new rooms, just as charming, have their own terrace. Special mention goes to the Banon room, which is beautifully furnished, the library of nearly 1,300 books, the exhibition on the history of Podor and the tribute to Oumar Ly, as well as the house's original jams (tomatoes, aubergines, etc.). The indoor garden, dotted with century-old trees that provide shade and freshness - essential when the thermometer is still at 35°C at 7pm - is a pleasant place to eat. It is possible to dine there, even if you do not stay at the hostel, but in this case it is imperative to book. Also remember to book for lunch, even if you stay at the hostel.

The Cour du Fleuve, formerly Maison Singer, is the result of a collective effort to protect and promote the wharf's architectural heritage. This charming hotel offers the traveller a stopover with remarkable comfort, previously absent from the region's tourist tours. The establishment has six beautiful air-conditioned rooms, well equipped and decorated, with an authentic charm, surrounding a pleasant garden. A carefully arranged suite overlooks the quays with an incredible view of the river and Mauritania. Everything is designed to recharge your batteries and decide to extend your stay in Podor. Warm welcome, delicious food and calm guaranteed. Bar with concerts, billiards, canoe and bike rental.

A great place to share family life while enjoying a degree of independence. A spacious, air-conditioned bedroom with en-suite bathroom is available for guests. You can also use the refrigerator in the corridor just off the room. Cleanliness here is impeccable. It's also a great place to read up on the region, with several documents freely available in the lounge. A recommended address for travelers who prefer local addresses and enjoy meeting the locals.

Hairdressing, cooking, accounting, breeding production... This vocational training centre for about 400 students offers four well-maintained rooms to help finance the courses of its students. They are all equipped with a television, a wardrobe and an interior bathroom with toilets. The meals are prepared by future cooks who practice in real conditions. A very pleasant solidarity stopover!
