Loft haussmannien — rue Félix Faure
Your host, Awa
My family has harvested salt on the north shore for three generations; I run the camp, six rooms and a mango tree. I am up at six for the bread, and I can take you to see the harvest before the coaches from Dakar arrive. In the evening there is nobody left but us, the birds and the dogs.
- The dish I cook best
- Le poulet yassa avec du riz et un peu de sel du lac, celui que ma mère met de côté avant que les camions ne passent.
- My favourite corner of the neighbourhood
- La crête de dune entre le lac et l'océan, à sept heures du matin. On voit les deux eaux en même temps et on n'entend rien.
- What teranga means to me
- Donner ce qu'on a sans faire d'histoires. Si vous arrivez à quinze heures affamé, on ne vous demandera pas si vous avez réservé le repas.
- What I always recommend
- Dormez une nuit au lieu de venir à la journée. Entre dix-sept heures et neuf heures, le lac ne ressemble à aucune photo que vous avez vue.

Getting there
From AIBD: 47 km, 45 min to 1 h 15 on the toll motorway (3,000 CFA), 20-30 min more between 5 and 8 pm; official taxi 25,000-30,000 CFA. This is where the BRT ends (Petersen terminus) and where the TER arrives from Diamniadio, which makes it the easiest district in the city to reach without a car. Everything here is walkable: Place de l'Indépendance, Kermel, Sandaga and the Gorée jetty all fit inside a one-kilometre square. Parking, on the other hand, is a competitive sport between 9 and 5 on weekdays.
