Fort-Dauphin – Taolagnaro - Travel & Tourism Guide Fort-Dauphin

Fort Dauphin boasts one of the country's most beautiful settings, bordered on one side by the lush vegetation that rolls down the steep slopes of Pic Saint-Louis, and on the other by the blond beaches of the Indian Ocean: Lokaro, Libanona, Manafiafy... Each of these three coasts is bathed by the ocean, benefiting from its own climate. With its white colonnaded houses and palm-fringed forts, this city of some 60,000 inhabitants, made up of several scattered districts, evokes a bygone colonial era. The most central site is the corniche axis (from the panorama to the fort), and the city is divided into outlying districts that stretch between the hills.This destination offers superb walks and magnificent sites to discover. Contrary to popular belief, Fort Dauphin is not a mining town, and its subtle charm is as seductive as ever. It's a haven of serenity, an unspoilt site to be savored to the full.
