To the east of the Bay of Tunis, the promontory of Sidi Bou Sa\u00efd is home to an Andalusian-style village that has long remained impenetrable to outsiders.<\/p>\n

\"2_IMG_bd_1189<\/a><\/p>\n

A hotbed of spirituality, this peaceful fishing village was to become famous in the 1920s thanks to the Franco-British orientalist painter and musicologist Baron Rodolphe d'Erlanger. He had a sumptuous palace built there - Ennejma Ezzahra - \"the Star of Venus\", where he invited his artist friends. Since then, the craze for this beautifully crafted town has never waned.<\/p>\n

It's great to stroll along its narrow streets at siesta time. Or in the evening, as the sun sets over the bay. The buses unload their stream of tourists for a jostle down the old staircases and steep alleyways lined with stalls.<\/p>\n

\"3_IMG_bd_1112<\/a><\/p>\n

But the white and blue village doesn't let itself be swallowed up. It reveals itself only cautiously, to those who can take the time to feel it, to look at it and to appreciate its serene atmosphere that no vicissitude seems to touch. You'll glide along in the shade of whitewashed facades whose vaulted porches are overflowing with geraniums and bougainvilleas.<\/p>\n

\"4_B<\/a><\/p>\n

Take a seat under the cypress trees on the covered walkway overlooking the sea, where lovers hide. You can sip pine nut tea on the terrace of the famous \"caf\u00e9 des nattes\", which has seen generations of artists, writers and backpackers come and go.<\/p>\n

\"5_IMG_bd_1128<\/a><\/p>\n

The magnificent gates of the mansions may be closed, but the terraces and patios are open to all eyes. Stroll through the peaceful cemetery overlooking the village and admire the beauty of the domes at sunset.<\/p>\n

\"6_B<\/a><\/p>\n

Waiting peacefully for the scent of peppers and grilled fish from the kitchen of the restaurant next door to say it's time... Time to linger a little longer in this village of saints and poets, where the ghosts of Klee, Gide and Cocteau still watch over us.<\/p>\n
