• Le Monument de la Renaissance Africaine - From your hotel, we commence our journey through life’s tapestry, beginning with an exploration of Dakar, the erstwhile capital of the French West African colonies. Our tour includes visits to Independence Square, the birthplace of Dakar’s history, as well as the presidential palace, the Senegalese Infantrymen’s Square, the railway station, the National Assembly, the Grand Cathedral, the Obelisk Square, and the mosque of divinity, culminating with the African Renaissance Monument. Subsequently, we proceed to the port to board a ferry to Gorée Island, where we encounter the annals of humanity. Gorée Island served as a pivotal hub for the transatlantic slave trade, dispatching slaves to Europe and the Americas. We will explore the House of Slaves, featuring the renowned ‘Door of No Return’ and the chambers where slaves were shackled, awaiting ships to transport them. Our island circuit will reveal a UNESCO World Heritage site, including the French church from 1830, the site of the Portuguese chapel erected in 1481, which also functioned as a burial ground for Portuguese missionaries, the French governor’s abode, the historical museum, and the ancient French fortifications. In essence, we will delve into the entirety of the island’s heritage.

Visiting Dakar offers a unique opportunity to connect with the history of humanity, particularly during a trip to the island of Gorée. For four centuries, Gorée Island served as a major departure point for slaves bound for Europe and America. Visitors can explore one of the slave houses, now a museum, featuring the “famous return door.” From this island, 15 to 20 million slaves were sent to the New World. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1978, Gorée Island holds significant historical value. Additionally, visitors can explore Dakar, the former capital of French West Africa’s colonies. Highlights include the presidential house, once the residence of the French governor, Independence Square, Sandaga Market, the Obelisk Square, the African Renaissance Monument, and the mosque deity. A tour of Dakar’s old districts provides an authentic glimpse into African culture.
