BAKEL
Situated 560 kms from Saint-Louis, Bakel is a small Sarakholé town nestling in a small basin ; it stands on guard so to speak for both the medium valley and the road to the Sudan.

In the colonization's days Bakel was a major stage in the French establishment inland the Black continent. The town was also an important economic centre whose prosperity was due to the trade of gum and groundnut.

In the middle of the town there is a hillock called the "montagne centrale" (i.e. : central mountain) ; a house stands there where René Caillié (the French explorer) is said to have stayed on his way to Tumbuctu.

The former fortress of Bakel is now the "Préfecture" ; its architecture is due to Faidherbe who wished to have it built in order to serve as the main place of resistance to El Hadj Omar.
