JOAL-FADIOUTH

'Joal-Fadiouth' is a village at the southern end of the Petite Côte of Senegal.

''Joal'' lies on the mainland, while ''Fadiouth'', linked by a bridge, lies on an island of clam shells, which are also used in local architecture and crafts. The village has no motorised transport evidenced by the sign on entering. It has large Christian and Muslim populations with cemeteries on another shell island. Another attraction is granaries on stilts in the water.
The first president of Senegal, Léopold Sédar Senghor, was born at Joal.
