Brief synthesisThe Island of Saint-Louis, oceanic port of West Africa, constitutes a unique landscape. The designated property covers the entire area of the Island of Saint-Louis, including the banks and quays, as well as the Faidherbe Bridge. Criterion (iv): The Island of Saint-Louis, a former capital of West Africa, is an outstanding example of a colonial city, characterized by its particular natural setting, and it illustrates the development of colonial government in this region. These overall measures supported by robust initiatives in situ have enabled the preservation of the integrity of the Island of Saint-Louis. This extraordinary mobilisation of the associations that fight daily for the safeguarding of Saint-Louis, shall soon be reinforced by a Committee for the Safeguarding of Saint-Louis which will be animated by the already appointed manager.
