The Saint-Louis Region (French: Région de Saint-Louis) of Senegal is on the border with Mauritania. Its capital is Saint-Louis.
Famous for the cast iron bridge in its capital, built by French colonialists in the 19th century, the region includes the Djoudj National Bird Sanctuary, home to thousands of birds, some indigenous to the area.
