The city of St Louis is located in the north of Senegal to the Mauritanian border. It is the symbol of elegance and fashion where one of the traditions was "Tacoussanou Ndar", that consisted for women to dress in order to go for a walk in the afternoon.
Around 5.00 pm, we could meet there Signare women, Wolof, Poulhar, walking with elegance on the river banks… No woman in the world could walk as a St Louisianan Lady…
