Saint-Louis transforms after dark. Neighborhoods around Saint-Louis Jazz Festival venue take on new energy, new sounds, and new possibilities — and the best way to discover it is on foot, moving between venues the way locals do. Track down Langue de Barbarie National Park for the kind of night that only locals know about.
Saint-Louis is a faded colonial jewel straddling the Senegal River, with a UNESCO-listed island center of pastel-colored buildings and wrought-iron balconies. Walking its quiet streets feels like stepping into a West African time capsule.

Areas near Saint-Louis Jazz Festival venue come alive after sunset, offering an experience you can't get during the day.
