Saint-Louis, Senegal

Saint-Louis or Saint-Louis du Sénégal is a city in Senegal. It is the capital of the Saint-Louis region.

Saint-Louis was the capital of French West Africa until 1902, when it was replaced by Dakar.

The centre of the town is concentrated on the island of St. Louis, on the Senegal River, and the sprawl continues in both directions. The north of the city has a long and sparse beach.

The city is twinned with Lille, France.
