Why go to Senegal?

At the edge of the desert, Senegal stands as a unique destination, offering a complete change of scenery under Africa's sun.

Nestled on West Africa's coast, Senegal promises an unforgettable stay, introducing you to a diverse culture, a magnificent coastline, and national parks, home to an exceptionally diverse range of fauna and flora. 

The sub-Saharan climate shapes Senegal's landscapes. The north is dominated by the desert, barely broken by the lengthy river that names the country. Moving southwards, vegetation becomes increasingly abundant, and desert expanses give way to the first trees, savannas, and dense forests. Nature reserves and national parks, such as the Niokolo-Koba National Park, protect ecosystems of unique beauty. 

Senegal's diverse ethnic groups, including the Wolofs, Lebous, Fulanis, Tukulors, Serers, Jolas, Mandinkas, and Bassaris, each with their own identity, enrich the country's languages, arts, and traditions. The Senegalese culture has also been shaped by French presence over several centuries. A UNESCO World Heritage site, the city of Saint-Louis has preserved its characteristic colonial architecture. Meanwhile, the capital, Dakar, is home to the country's most prestigious museums. 

Looking for a sunny destination just a few hours by plane from Lyon? Bathed by the Atlantic Ocean, the Senegalese coast offers stunning fine sandy beaches.The seaside resorts of the Petite Côte and Cap Skirring appeal to those who enjoy relaxation and water sports. 

Petite Côte et du Cap Skirring séduisent les amateurs de farniente et d’activités nautiques.
