Crossroads and cradle of great civilizations of Western Africa, Mali continues to be a genuine country where traditions are still vivid.

Here, one still knows how the world was born and people still remember the legends, telling them to each other and the "griots" stand out.

Mali, in the heart of black Africa, symbolizes the glory of the great civilizations. In the ancient cities of Tombouctou, Djenne, Segou, Gao, in Mandingue country... ancient history is preserved. Here, in the villages with mud huts still live the descendents of the greatest African empires.
