Résumé
A. Sinou—The Founding Moments of Some Colonial Towns. One should not think that the roots of urban settlements along the penetration routes starting from St. Louis-du-Senegal, have been imagined according to a planner's rationality. In fact, the explanations given as to the choice of the sites refer to different categories of reasons; a multiplicity of arguments influenced the actual choice of locations and builders, when beginning to build, were determined by arguments which came out more from a system of taies than from technical evidence.
