Description of this activity

Experience a full immersion in the heart of Ngaparou with a day combining a hands-on workshop, market visit, culinary discovery, and a glimpse into village life. This unique experience plunges you into the local atmosphere, between Senegalese flavors, daily traditions, craftsmanship, and authentic scenes of life on the Petite Côte. Accessible to everyone, it is an ideal activity for those who wish to understand, taste, and feel the rhythm of a coastal village.

The day begins with a visit to the Ngaparou market, a lively place full of colors, scents, and conversations. You will explore stalls with vegetables, spices, fish, tropical fruits, and everyday products. This time at the market allows you to learn more about local eating habits, the basic ingredients of Senegalese cuisine, and the role of markets in village life.

The excursion continues with a hands-on workshop, which may vary depending on the day: discovering a local craft, preparing ingredients, learning traditional techniques, or participating in an artisanal activity. This moment is designed for everyone to get involved and handle the materials or foods used.

After the workshop, it’s time for local cuisine. Participants prepare a Senegalese meal by following essential steps: selecting ingredients, preparing sauces, cooking, seasoning, and assembling the dishes. The dishes vary depending on the season and ingredients available at the market: thiebou dieune, yassa, mafé, fish with rice, etc.

The meal is then enjoyed in a friendly setting, a special moment to share and savor local flavors.

The day ends with a walk through the village of Ngaparou, among quiet streets, family homes, small workshops, lively beaches, and everyday life scenes. This stroll allows you to observe the authentic rhythm of the village, between fishing, craftsmanship, and community life.

Accessible to all levels, this activity combines short walks, participatory workshops, and moments of relaxation. It is recommended to wear light clothing and suitable shoes.
