As far as Ndioum, the heat is relatively bearable, but to push towards Matam and Bakel is to undertake a journey to the land of the thermometer. Arriving in Matam is therefore not at all restful, especially without air conditioning, it is located more than 420 km from Saint-Louis and more than 240 km from Podor. For the traveller, Matam has this for it that it is nestled on the banks of the river. Mauritania is closer than ever, just a few strokes of a canoe paddle away. Some buildings have kept their colonial chain, and the prefecture is a reproduction of the previous one, left abandoned a little further downstream, at the entrance of the department.
