An extremely interesting museum on Léopold Senghor, his father and their works. The explanations, provided by Étienne in a tone of pleasant humor, are very interesting; we learn both the history of the family and the essentials of the life of the first president of Senegal (without being a surplus of information). The building, although in deplorable condition due to lack of government assistance, is superb. I went there without much conviction but came out delighted. It is undoubtedly a detour to make during your visit to Joal-Fadiouth! Open every day of the week except Monday, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Price of 1000 FCFA per person.

Very good visit with Étienne who gave us very interesting information... however watch out for mosquitoes...

Very warm welcome, interesting, dynamic guided tour suitable for everyone. It's a shame that there are not enough funds to maintain everything in good condition; the photographic panels are marked by the wear and tear of time.

Guidé par le grand-fils lui-même, on a appris beaucoup de la vie du Président Senghor

The birthplace of the late first President of the Republic of Senegal Mr. Léopold Sedar Senghor. This house was built at the beginning of 1850 by his late father Diogoye Basile Senghor. The latter was an animist like most of the inhabitants of Senegal. It was after his baptism by Catholic missionaries that his name Diogoye Senghor will be Diogoye Basile Senghor.

The guide is great! Funny, friendly, educated... he masters his subject perfectly with his fly and mosquito repellent stick, you will recognize him at first glance. No entrance fee, just tip for the guided tour which teaches you a lot about the history of the former president of the Senegalese republic. Many anecdotes on the history of Senegal, the Marseilles, the flag, etc. An incongruous and essential visit at the same time for all those who want to leave Senegal with the feeling of not having just come as simple tourists…

The guide is very knowledgeable and funny in his explanations, which is very pleasant to follow

Thank you for the guided tour of the place with interesting discussions! The place deserves to be preserved and renovated

Cool

Very interesting visit thanks to the fascinating and passionate guide! Place that deserves to be saved and the work of the guide supported

(Translated by Google) Fascinating visit thanks to the guide Etienne full of humor and humanity. Discovery of this extraordinary president. To do absolutely (Original) Visite passionnante grâce au guide Etienne plein d'humour et d'humanité. Découverte de ce président hors du commun. A faire absolument

(Translated by Google) Exciting explanations from the guide on site, cultured, a lot of humor... What a pity all the same that the Senegalese public authorities leave this place in this state of virtual abandonment. As if, in France, we disinterred Lariboisière in France. (Original) Explications passionnantes du guide sur place , cultivé, beaucoup d humour ... Quel malheur quand même que les pouvoirs publics sénégalais laissent ce lieu dans cet état de quasi abandon . Comme si, en France , on désinterrressait de Lariboisière en France .

(Translated by Google) Once there we unfortunately lack of maintenance and the dilapidated state of the building. No welcome and no guide. It's a shame for this site so symbolic, housed in a beautiful village (Original) Une fois sur place nous avons malheureusement le manque d'entretien et la vétusté du bâtiment. Aucun accueil et absence de guide. C'est dommage pour ce site si symbolique, loge dans un beau village

(Translated by Google) Well maintained place (Original) Lieu bien entretenu

(Translated by Google) Thanks to our guide who told us about the life of President Senghor's family. What a great man but not really in size! (Original) Merci à notre guide qui nous a raconté la vie de la famille du Président Senghor. Quel grand Homme mais pas vraiment par sa taille !

Lieu très intéressant mais ne pas y aller entre 11het midi car Étienne est à la messe et visiter seul n a pas beaucoup d intérêt . 2000 FCFA par personne . Si c’est fermé s adresser au cordonnier en face

J'ai eu la chance d'être tombé sur le guide pour une visite privée magnifique. L' histoire du père de Senghor est encore beaucoup plus intéressante que celui du fils devenu président.

Très belle visite, sur place on a eut le droit à l'histoire de la famille Senghor raconter par un homme qui a pris le temps de nous la raconter. Merci à lui.

I stopped in for a visit with 16 French teachers in late June with my Vive l'expérience group. We were delighted by the informative, clever, and funny tour by the curator who was there. We learned a lot and really appreciated the visit. The backyard includes a giant, lovely baobab which was a great place to grab some extra pictures. The location is currently being renovated but it is still definitely worth the visit. Highly recommend. And from here, it's just a few minutes to get to the bridge for Fadiouth.
