Photos by FX TREUILLE : on the map, in Google Earth (KML)

Il faudra garder cette photo et la comparer à la même prise fin 2010. Les cabines de bains du casino auront été remplacées, sur une longueur de 200m environ. Document d'archive!...

Good to see some water in the river. It was almost dry when we visited in September 2006. It is an extraordinary place. A very friendly woman and her children welcomed visitors to her home. They filmed 'Gladiator' here and she had a big poster of Russell Crow in the living room. Nearby was a thatched refuge to keep a donkey comfortable from the heat of the sun. Here and Hong Kong must be the two most amazing places I ever saw. Quite different of course! The mini-bus guide managed to talk non-stop for 6 hours as we crossed the Atlas mountains and back on 'Mr Bill's' road. (I think that was the civil engineer's name, but I may have forgotten it.) Thanks for the photograph.

This is one of my favourite places, lovely photo
